Today we had another cool start at about 55 degrees...with high clouds. The rain continues to go before us....our luck is holding and we have escaped the deluges. When we stopped at the SAG today it was at the Dalton Gang hideout...there is a little museum type thing there and a local man came out and told us the road was closed yesterday because it was underwater...they had gotten 5 inches of rain! We had another headwind today especially the last 20 miles so we worked the paceline and got here in good time. I think a lot of people think Kansas boring but I find it quite beautiful...wide open spaces, big fields, some freshly plowed and some with foot high corn....huge silos dotting the horizon...it smells of green and earth. Spectacular.
Another 84 miles tomorrow to Great Bend, KS...so we will be "heading out of Dodge"...
Here is a picture of the Kansas morning...it doesn't transalate very well.
P.S. I seem to have no control over the comment section of the blog. Demerits
are due I am afraid.
