C3Q II Daily Dispatches From The Road- 10/7/26

3 States: 31) Texas, 32) Oklahoma, 33) Kansas 

Upon arriving at the Texas state border I experienced a moment of deja vu because there was the same welcome sign  that I photographed the challenger ten years ago. (see the Rebel Rodder book)

Only this time I spray pasted two posters on the sign metal stands along with the other small stickers decorating the surrounding area. Instead of theChallenger in the foreground, this time I positioned it in the background.  Next, Boise Oklahoma.

Upon arriving at Boise, Oklahoma, and going around the city center through a traffic circle I discovered the next high risk posting site. It stood literally across the street from the county courthouse This unnerved Zoraya to such a point that she expressed reluctance in posting in such blatantly exposed and public sites. Nevertheless, I proceeded because the riskier, the more thrilling and the higher the personal reward. 

We left Oklahoma and entered Liberal, Kansas. We  stopped to eat at a Mexican Seafood Restaurant called “Mariscos Sinaloa.” We ordered aguachile verde which is  shrimp marinated in lemon, cucumbers and red onions. We also ordered  a whole fried fish, Mojarra Frita and a fish ceviche. (Tilapia marinated in lemon with tomatoes, cilantro and onion on top of a tostada.) The food was delicious and it was so authentic it tasted like the ocean, in a good way. It seemed like we were eating on the shores of Mazatlan. The restaurant staff was very friendly and accommodating. As we left, I realized that we should take advantage of having receipts and witness signatures by spray pasting an insignia poster on their back door where the challenger was parked. Even though we had another site in mind I always take advantage of an opportunity because you never know what might cross your path to thwart your intentions. As it happened, we were rerouted towards Missouri through Oklahoma for a faster route and we would have missed posting in Kansas.
