The Middle (of America)

Well, something found us. On our way to Sioux Falls to accomplish the impossible (pictures of the carnage can be found below), we came across Keisha, a beautiful nineteen year old girl stranded in the first lane of the Kansas City Expressway. She ran out of gas, so we offered to give her a lift to the nearest gas station and buy her a gas can and fill it with fuel (for you especially, Frank!). First we had to move her car off the road and onto the shoulder. We didn’t know this before, but apparently Kevin has the mechanics of moving vehicles uphill down to a science. They tell us he’s smart. Maybe so. Keisha had a story of her own. At nineteen she is already a happy mother of three and has been with the children’s father for the last eight years. We hugged it out, both stoked on meeting one another. After we parted we took to the road for our next day’s goal: Sioux Falls and the Foreboding and Ominous Pizza Challenge at Boss’ Pizza and Chicken.

After waking some miles out of an Omaha rest stop (who knew that’s what you do at those places), we stopped at breakfast buffet so Kevin and I could train for glory…in the form of a six pound pizza.

Continuing on to Sioux Falls, South Dakota…
