Day 31

28 February 1998 (Greensburg/Pleasant View motel; mileage = 46.4) -- X - I felt very yucky last night and went to the bathroom at 3:00 to spend way too much time there. In the morning, I slept in a bit, but I finally got up and we had a very careful (tedious) take down, because of the lake, which was downwind of another gale hurricane. We finally made it out to our highway (400) after a brutal northward mile. I was dead tired, so our progress wasn't super awesome, despite our fine tail wind. We had nice, wide shoulders today, too, which helps. We got to Ford and had lunch there. I was trying to be careful how much and what I ate, since I felt so crappy. They didn't have « of the items on the menu. After a short bit of perfect tail wind, we turned and had cross winds to Mullinville, where a pop sculptor made metal cartoon sculptures out of old farm equipment. Unfortunately, they had a Rush Limbaugh theme. After a few more tough miles of nasty cross winds, we got to this motel, which was only 2 times as much as the corresponding RV site. Hmm. April has gone to the store to get snacks. I took a shower and am resting. We both have developed (recently) a weird chaffing/rash where our butts meet our legs. Ouch!
