Checking in after checking in at Wakeeney KS, somewhere way past Topeka but not quite Colorado yet. Decided to do a little mobile PR today:
Reaction from other motorists was mostly favorable. The funniest opposition reaction was some guy in a Camaro who pulled up alongside and hollered that we needed to turn around because we were going the wrong way. Had me going there for a minute. I actually checked the GPS to make sure we were going west.
Onward...
