Life Kansas....Kansas....Kansas....

This has been a very sad month for me. My mom's funeral was on the first Saturday this month. And this Saturday, the last Saturday of month, I'm going to leave at 5AM for a funeral that starts at 10AM in North Central Kansas in a little town called Jewell, KS. I've never been there before. My good pal Mr. Doggity -who I've often mentioned here on the CP- his father in law passed at the age of 93 in Jewell. His wife grew up on the Edwards family farm there. The farm has been in the Edwards family since before the Civil War. It's a 250 mile drive from KC. Basically like driving from KC to St. Louis. It's gonna be hot coming home, 100 degree day expected. But Mr. Doggity is family to me, so I need to represent. I'm driving solo, and coming home I'll go through Clay Center and Manhattan. Any of you K-State guys or Kansas natives have any tips for a good ole Mizzou Tiger to survive driving alone across the Kansas Prairie? Any places I should stop for a bite or a cold one? Thanks. I still love me a good funeral.
