Day 23

I said goodbye to Ulysses, KS and headed east in very strong southerly winds.  About 25 miles out the wind ripped and shredded my hard top cover over my tent.  It took me 45 min. dealing with the high winds to cut the pieces of the shell and stuff them into the truck bed.  I limped into Garden City, KS and got a tarp and bungee cords at Harbor Freight, and went on my way.

Stopped near McPherson, KS at a boondocking campground.  Sheltered from the wind but very hot.  Being alone in an unsupervised campground at dark was a bit unsettling.  Didn't sleep well but felt good that the tent still worked without the cover.
