Really enjoy watching your videos. I worked in a factory with welding and lots of hot hydraulics for many years. Also had a job mowing grass but I was 17 so nothing bothered me. But your walking down these dusty roads is something I am so impressed with.

...and not dying! That is a very good plan on dealing with the heat. The respite was short, but seize upon every one you have. Go forth with new shoes and socks and conquer the Plains along the Santa Fe Trail (without getting dysentery too!) Hike on (in the cooler morning and evening)! Tortoise

On a trip out west my wife read a book to me while driving that someone had given her. It was about being a nurse in rural Kansas. She had to make a 20 miles to work and I believe she worked in Kinsley. It took place in the 50-70s if I remember right. Gives a glimpse into rural life in western Kansas.

I don't know what happened to the book. I'm thinking she may have been a nurse in Stafford, Ks and not Kinsley. I just found the book name. Interesting read. Worth your time. "Nurse, Please !! Fifty Incredible Years as A Rural Kansas Nurse" Rose Holcomb, RN

Here's a fun fact for you - in Kansas, the river is pronounced just like the name of the state - the ArKANSAS river, and not like it's pronounced everywhere else in the United States. It usually makes the rest of the country roll their eyes when we tell them that!

fun fact two - It's derived from the native american word for the local tribe, and only by an act of legislature was the pronunciation codified into law as having the silent "s" in Arkansas (to honor the Francophone way of pronouncing it).

Make sure that Jen knows that even though you like to jokingly lay the blame for late starts and pace issues at her feet, some of us viewers are currently watching older videos from this hike and have caught on to the fact that you have plenty of late starts and pace hiccups even when she's not with you. :P

Be careful with those ranch wells and turning them on. I understand your need for water, but ranchers are incredibly protective of their property and equipment. Don’t get me wrong, they’re kind people and would likely have no problem if you asked but without permission it’s risky.

The further west one goes in Kansas the more independent minded the people become. It's due to the hardship of living out there. Even independent to the detriment of their political views. In other words, they will be against a political system that will help them (they vote against their own best interests). Had a great uncle that had 17 kids in western Ks. Grew up Holdeman Mennonite. So no radio or TV and drove plane cars. One of the kids become head of the Kansas truckers Association, another one owned a Chevy dealership and gave his parents new cars to drive every year and another a big farmer that flew planes but accidently lost his life on a tractor accident at his vacation spot in the Ozarks. Those left the Holdeman tradition. In western Kansas you will find Mexican German Mennonites that were born in Mexico (but keep the German language and their customs) and come up to work on the big farms and try to make money to go back to Mexico etc.
