thanks! our plan was to go KC to Wichita to Meade to Hugoton thru Boise City thru Clayton then Santa Fe... ("highway" 412)..is that doable?

To get to Hugoton and Boise City from Mead, you will need to take US-160 West to US-83 South to KS-51 West to US-56 West to US-412 West. I have driven all the U.S. highways mentioned. They are all mostly good 2 lane. I have not driven KS-51, but most Kansas state highways are pretty good roads.
