76 days in the saddle: Free burgers and tilt-a-whrils

Late night horseshoe games make for early mornings, but I beat Jarod so it was worth it. Slowly one by one we rolled out of the hammocks and packed up and met at the local gas station. 50 some miles left of colorful Colorado, bring it on Kansas! We finally made it to the boarder and it really sank in that we are almost home. We made it to a little town and bought lunch at the local grouchy store, a package of baloney a piece and two loafs of bread. Jarod asked the checkout lady how long baloney would keep if we did noteat it all for lunch. She just looked at him and said I would not eat it, which met we had a few hours before it started to go bad. When we left the small town of Tribune Chad noticed the bank sign read 95 degrees, and it was only noon. A few miles passed by and we came to the next town and decided to take a break at a gas station before we passed out from the heat. Someone informed us that the county fair was starting tonight and they hand out free burgers to all fair goers. Well that settled that, we headed to to the pool and cooled off for about an hour, did some sweet tricks off the diving board and got kids in trouble for going down the slide the wrong way.

We were not the first in line, but very close to the front. Well it's so hard to pass up free food so we went though again and got another burger. So after two burgers, bake beans, chips and pop we hopped on to the tilt-a-whirl. With out going in to much detail I puked after I got off the ride. It was amazing, just another thing i can check off my bucket list, puck after riding a fair ride. Well all fun must come to an end, we rode on to tonights destination of Scott City. We rode in to Scott City with amazing sunset behind us and the end to a great day ahead. We found a nice little park with a with a sprinkler running, shower time! Set up the hammocks and me a Chad rode to the gas station to get a slushy only to find out that the machine was broke. As a substitute we got 44 oz of orange fanta and headed back to the park to go to bed.
