Ulysses, KS for 18 Hours

We have been hanging out un Ulysses, KS for most of the day awaiting the arrival of two teams so we can interview them. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. It has been anything but a relaxing day - although I did sneak in a quick 30 min nap after we checked into the hotel. AND BONUS - another night in a hotel!




Ulysses is a small, quaint town and we were greeted by huge grain mills when we came into town. After starting the shell of some stories, I headed back over to time station #23 by the McDonalds in town and talked to Team Type 2 crew chef Jenn and a few of the awesome women from Team Kalyra.

I took the media van and drove through the town looking for a cafe or local restaurant to have dinner. Everything was closed by 9:30am except Subway. Another veggie sandwich it is. I had dinner with Leary (over the phone). It was great to talk to him!

I'm going to do a little more writing and then head to bed. Hopefully we'll be on the road and make tracks tomorrow through Kansas - approx 350 miles until Missouri.
