John and Kevin checked into the time station at Ft. Scott, Kansas at 9:49 Pacific time. The Missouri border is 6 miles away from this time station. The next stop is Collins, MO. The route is pictured above. (As always, these images are from the RAAM website, www.raceacrossamerica.org.) At 10:00 Pacific, Ken and Jeremy are due to relieve John and Kevin. I'm expecting a phone call from John shortly and will update this posting when I've heard from him.
Okay, heard from John - the course today was uneventful. There was a slight headwind at the beginning, and then......nothing. No tailwind to aid in the never-ending rollers - but no headwind to make dealing with them harder. The weather is HUMID - and that's just going to continue for pretty much the rest of the course. They're going to shower and rest up in Ken and Jeremy's room before heading out for their shift on course tomorrow at 1:00 Pacific.
