View of the day-The Kansas wheat is still a ways off, but looks good. This was across the road from where we parked the rigs south east of Timken, KS. 
We left the motel at Ainsworth first thing in the morning...well, first thing for us...and went back to Bassett to get the truck ready to go. It was a great day for driving, the sun fought the clouds off by the middle of the afternoon and the wind was behind us making for good mileage.
We stopped for lunch in Elm Creek, NE then continued on fighting traffic a lot of the way...a strange event considering there aren't a lot of towns along the road we travel. Of course, we didn't take into account the various fairs and festivals that were being held at this time of year...we're usually long gone by now.
We got to the bin site at Timken, KS around 6pm and after parking the equipment and having a visit with our farmer, we pointed the Dodge north and started on our way home. It was 1100 miles this far and now we get to drive it again on the way home and then turn around and do it again.

We made Holdredge, NE in the southern part of the state and decided to spend the night so we could start tomorrow's marathon drive fresh.
And, we are supposed to hit the rain again...
