Total mileage - 1330
Another short day, so we took the opportunity to sleep in a bit. Turns out it was a good thing we did - there was a dense fog advisory and it was pretty chilly out this morning.
It was overcast as we left Scott City, and stayed that way all morning. The wind was light, and almost a tailwind, so this made for some really nice riding conditions! We even got misted on at one point.
More of the same scenery today, but more of it for some reason - feed yards and oil derricks. Traffic was light since it is Sunday, but we did get passed by a couple of oversize loads. The drivers in Kansas have been the most considerate of all - almost all of them cross completely into the oncoming lane to go around us. And almost all of the oncoming drivers wave at us. Nicest people we've come across yet!
We got to Leoti around noon, and ate lunch with the after-church crowd at the one diner in town, The Route 96 Diner, and checked-in to the one motel in town, the Hi-Plains Motel. Dinner came from a convenience store. Leoti actually has a golf course, which we briefly entertained the idea of attending, but dropped that once the clouds burned off and the afternoon heat set in!
Tomorrow we will take advantage of our complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast at the hotel, pick up our mail, and get on the road early to beat the heat. Temps are projected to be over 100 degrees tomorrow afternoon, and we would like to go about 60 miles or so to Sheridan Lake, CO. New state, new time zone, woohoo!
