I`m thinking leaving here midnight ot 1 a.m. monday if you want to run tandem. looks like it`s over now but going to take many sunny days to dry even the county roads, let alone the 2 tracks. I`m not all sand either!

8-10" of a rain little north of liberal. now that is indiana rain. I doubt western ks has ever had an 8-10" ever before in history. you can bet the cimmaron isn`t a dry sand run now. when you see those cottonwood logs snagged up on a cliff 20 feet up now you know how they got there. once out in wyoming we found a huge dam of pine cones and debris out on the prairie where a big draw petered out, 20 or so miles from the closest tree. now that is scary. also saw a dry stock dam pond full of sheep chit 20 feet deep.

Speaking of trailer lights......!!!!!!! Coming home on this last trip I start blowing fuses just south of St Louis at dark! Five times I crawled under the truck and trailer trying to find a short in the wiring harness, never finding anything until I had used the last fuse!
Guess what, it was the hot wire for the liscense plate lamp wire that had shorted out in a location where it couldn't be seen!
For a while I really thought I was going to be another night on the road because there was NO WAY IN HADES that I was going to try and attempt to come through St Louis with out trailer lights!
Funny thing was that I passed or saw at least three trailers that evening on the I-270 bypass or hwy 40 & 61 with out trailer lights..... Just glad it was them and not me.

Just have to deal with the cards as they are dealt as it seems. I get 2-3 years of workable weather then its monsoon time once again. Taking the ATV as a must on this run to Kansas. Roads will be bad in some areas I am sure.I Still have traps in Arkansas that were flooded out years ago never found. On occasion you can recover them the next season. But the silt/mud and high humidity eats them up real bad over the year and some locations change so dramatically you cant find them anyways do to debris accumulation.
