The wind on our way to Wichita made me want to cry. In fact, I think I may have. I played a game with myself called "try and ride the next 8 miles without dropping below 10 mph." The winds were approximately 30 mph in our faces. We rode for twenty miles before we through our hands in the air, cursed Linka (of Planeteer fame, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planeteer), and stuck out our thumbs. Our first ride was brief, a mere 5 miles. Jerry brought us to the turn for Cheney Lake. Again we played the glorious thumb dance. Congressman Bill Light, from South West Kansas, came to our rescue with a big truck with an empty bed. Congressman Light told us all about Kansas politics and his work with the budget committee. He was a top notch guy and I would vote for him, breaking my party ties. He took us into Wichita and pointed out the sights. Now, we had prearranged to stay with some kids off couchsurfing, so we had an address of where we were set to stay that night. And Bill took us all the way to the front door.
Already, I felt like something was missing. And it was. My trusty Camelback, my hydration and the home of things I need to carry, was in the back of Jerry's truck. It had my recently purchased postcards, my knife, leatherman, headlamp, and most importantly, my iphone inside that bag. Needless to say, I was distressed. Racquel saw that I was close to loosing it, so she sat me down and started making calls. She called 411 to get ahold of people at Cheney Lake, and the sailing club and anyone else that might know Jerry. She was on the phone for an hour, but it was all gravy. People called their people and they got ahold of Jerry and he dropped off the bag at Cheney Lake and we were told we could pick it up at the ranger's station. Wheew.
One of our wonderful hosts offered to take Rocky and I to pick up my bag. We set out listening to the new Hanson album and got to ride on a interstate for the first time in weeks. Shannon, our driver, had googled the directions a different way than we had come but it seemed reasonable. We drove and drove, and then made several turns going deeper into unpopulated farmland. We turned on a dirt road and then another. Finally, we make a right on an unmarked dirt road at the dead end we assume is Pretty Prairie Road. It has a few puddles but they didn't seem too deep. We were wrong. Once stuck, we jump out to access. The whole left side was submerged, the front right tire was underwater and perched higher than the left side and the back right tire was on dry land. Rocky and I are no wimps nor are we nervous about getting dirty. We dive right in and start digging and wedging whatever we can to give traction to the wheels. We are kneeling in the dark red mud and the water went up to our biceps. Shannon was the test driver and wheel managing technician and managed to get filth all over the now slippery clutch and entire front seat. We ended up following the rest of the directions that we had but after a half mile of walking we ended up on the banks of the lake. No ranger station. Shannon hadn't put in the ranger station, she had simply googled Cheney Lake, so it took us as directly as it knew how to the banks of the mighty water. As we walked back, she called AAA. Racquel and I played in the mud. Someone spotted a tractor and we ran to catch up with it. Farmer Curt said he would indeed rescue the damsels in distress and faster than AAA could get there. He was so helpful. He ran the tractor back to its home and came in a big farmer's truck. He spoke very little but efficiently rigged up a chain and rope to the little Honda and the big farmer truck. One quick pull and we were free. As we said our thank yous and goodbyes, we passed the unsuspecting AAA tow truck. Sorry pal, farmer Curt to the rescue.
We continued to get more lost as we still needed to get to that ranger station and nab the bag. The directions were fragmented that we received from Curt and the fishermen we happened upon. An hour later we found the place and the ranger and my bag. On the way back to Wichita, we calculated that it was only a 30 min drive to where we picked up my bag, but it had taken us 4 hours, including mud time.
Covered in mud, Racquel and I received hair cuts from Shannon's sister. Rocky looked and looks so hot, she's like Tiffany-Amber Thessin in "90210" circa 1997. Mine is short. It looks great,but I gave her "carte blanche" to do anything and to me it was a little tame. Then I remembered that I am in Derby, Kansas.
For the next several days we have established quite the social life in Wichita. BBQ's, bonfires, we attended the symphony, a jazz performance, and the house where we are staying has a party every Monday night called "Sink Beer" that is incredibly akin to the Wednesday night gatherings for Veggielution. Rain has been a blessing. The girls and I even caught up with Weeds season 3 and didn't miss Heros.
Thank you Wichita.
Hey Sarah! Just want to say hello and I miss you! And also a big hello to the girls!

@Marco I know what your saying there . In todays economy its hard to find a job that pays good and is stable . I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the writer of this page , they are clearly hard working and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
To start, allow me to point out that your internet site is fantastic. I love the theme that you have. It was very easy on the eyes. Appreciate your article too. Definitely subscribed to your feed to make sure I won't be missing out on any updates. Excellent job! Toast to a productive business
Good show sir, Good show indeed!
Hiya, nice day.. Your article is extremely impressive. I never considered that it was feasible to accomplish something like that until after I looked over your post. You certainly gave a great perception on exactly how this whole process works. I will make sure to return for more advice. Thanks
I was just doing some surfing on my Google Phone during my break at work , and I happened across something I thought was intriguing. It linked to your site so I jumped over. I can't really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good anyway.
Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault really , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy reading the content .
Well, I don’t know if that’s going to work for me, but definitely worked for you! :) Excellent post!
Remarkable post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am having a hard time getting my subscribers to leave comments. They are coming to the site but I have the impression that “nobody wants to be first”.
I think your blog post was really a awesome start to a potential series of posts about this topic. A lot of people act like they comprehend what they're writing about when it comes to this area and most of the time, hardly anyone actually get it. You seem to understand it however, so I think you need to run with it. Thanks a lot!
Cockappoo or Golden Doodle - Which one would you choose?
Very nice, I really liked it. Do you know of somewhere I can read more about it?
@Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?
Hey, I just hopped over to your site via StumbleUpon. Not somthing I would normally read, but I liked your thoughts none the less. Thanks for making something worth reading.
