While heading out West and back home, we always have to stop at The Cozy Inn in downtown Salina for some bags of sliders. 6 doubles is just about right, however the truck will smell like onions for weeks afterwards. I'm okay with that. The Elephant Bistro is also a must when hunting around...

I've been through 10 pair of boots in the past few years, and I've always had trouble with blisters. Even tried the Pronghorns, but they didn't fit my feet well. All I wanted was a lightweight waterproof boot that felt more like a hiking boot. I picked up a pair of these at Bass Pro a few...
