Summer is almost here, the school semester is almost over so I plan on doing more road trips in KS or across the country. Either in the MB or on my Gixxer. Well, the Gixxer may be more suited for more in-state trips 
I really want to do a cross country road trip of the Southwestern part of the U.S.A. with the following legs:
-Wichita, KS to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT
-Salt Lake City, UT to Reno, NV
-Reno, NV to San Francisco, CA
-San Francisco, CA to Lake Forest, CA (I have family in Lake Forest, CA)
-Lake Forest, CA to San Diego (I have more family in Escondido, CA which is a little north of S.D.)
-San Diego, CA all the way to San Antonio, TX
-San Antonio, TX to Wichita, KS
But at $3.76 + or - for gas??? That really puts a damper in my road trip budget.

There is really nothing out in western Kansas except wind turbines and cattle.
Just another weekend road trip out to western Kansas. These wind turbines are located in Spearville, KS.
Keep going more west and you'll smell cow manure, see cattle, slaughterhouses and big rigs with cattle trailers.

$3.76 for regular or premium either way I need to move there. Last time I looked regular was $3.99 in my area.
I still want to do a road trip across America but don't have the time for it and money would get tight due to staying in a hotel for a month or two straight.

Thanks! I have to say the same about yours too. The wheels look great!
It's been a while since I'vel last updated, but I've been living on the road on the weekends. Last weekend I took a Saturday morning road trip on one of the highways in KS known as the Flint Hills Scenic Byway.
I stopped in some of the small towns along the way to get some pictures and see some history about the places. Picture quality isn't the greatest as they were taken with my Samsung Epic 4g cell phone.
There is alot of farm land and cattle on this highway. Please excuse the cows mating in the 4th picture =) =)

Some pictures from Cottonwood Falls, KS and the historical Chase County Courthouse. And an old antique looking gas station as I was leaving town.
Along with an old abandoned building I saw as I entered the next small town north of Cottonwood Falls called Strong City.

I do more lurking than I do posting. After years of rolling on iForged wheels, I decided to give the car a refresh in order to get a new look.
I purchased a CF lip from Gary@Suvneer along with a set of Strasse R10 Deep Concave wheels with the following specs:
19X8.5F
19X9.5R
Brushed Titanium Centers
Polished Aluminum Lip
Gloss Black Inner Barrels
Hidden Hardware
The sun hasn't came out as of late so I haven't been able to get pictures of it in the daylight, but these will do for now.
