Day 2 -- The Heartland.

Some said this band of 5 Wild Hogs were lunatics to drive across the heartland during the mid summer with record breaking high temperatures no less, others said this group of manly men had qualities similar to those of the early settlers, courageous, adventuresome, ruggedly good looking....we'll let you readers decide who is right over the next three weeks.

Today we covered the western half of Missouri....winding country roads, rolling hills, lush forests and beautiful river landscapes and small towns. We then entered Kansas. While it isn't Hell....they do have the contract to produce the heat for hell. Holy crap is it hot....and windy. The only good thing is when you're attempting a high speed sweeping turn and you get hit with a super hot blast that lays you over, wetting yourself isn't a problem because you're dry within half a mile. The prairie is spectacular...wide open....rolling hills....few trees....goes on forever.

We got within 15 miles of our destination, Dodge City, and then just caught the edge of a thunderstorm.....got soaking wet but again...dried out within half a mile....gotta look for the silver lining.

Having a great time.....more to come.
