I also don't have a photo, but recall the same. Looked at my journal and found the following:

"July 5th - This morning I was up early, carefully packed my tent and set off. US 50 had these annoying rumble strips full length of the 8 ft shoulder but without too much fuss I was in outskirts of Newton at 15 miles."

I was heading west from Peabody, KS after taking part in 4th of July festivities and camping overnight - so my part of US 50 was slightly east of Yoder, but agree these were surprisingly obnoxious rumble strips, not extremely deep, but taking up the entire wide shoulder.
