When is the last time you pulled that off? I make the trip at least once a
month - in reverse - and lately the FHP and the Indian cops have been all over
that road. An article in the paper said that they average a bit over one
accident a day. Seems hard to believe on a divided highway like that with one
real exit ramp and only a few scattered rest stops. My guess is most of them
are from people falling asleep. There were also a lot of rollovers blamed on
the Firestone tire mess a few years ago...

But at 80+ mph it goes by pretty fast and there's lot's of exotic bird
life along the way.
The real fun was in the early 1960s, driving on K-10 late at night from
Kansas City, Missouri, to Lawrence. A winding country road, populated
with unguarded railroad crossings, sweeping hills, federal ammunition
dumps and no real enforced speed limit. An 80 mph average speed
was...just average. Many a time you'd have to guess whether you'd beat
that freight over the crossing... Ahhh...the heady days of Osawatomie,
Tonganoxie and other delightful Kansas place names.
