An excerpt: Leaving the baking heat, vast desert stretches, and challenging climbs of New Mexico, we were certainly ready for a lower-stress touring environment. We got it as soon as we crossed the Kansas line: one mile in, we entered Elkhart for our first taste of the touring cyclist’s promised land that is Kansas. Here we found a city pool with showers and a welcoming staff who refused to charge us admission (”Oh, you’re bikers? Just go on in and enjoy”), a perfectly maintained city park that the accommodating police readily allowed us to camp in, and the friendliest people we have met anywhere on our journey. This wonderful experience was repeated time after time across Kansas, and we enjoyed swimming, showering, and camping in Elkhart, Sublette, Larned, Dodge City, Lucas, and Smith Center. It seemed as though every town in Kansas with at least 1,000 people had a nice city pool, a well-kept city park, and a small but well-stocked grocery store. What more could a touring cyclist ask for?

I confess i usually just see it as in the way between me and Colorado, but sounds like my views would change if I would have a chance to talk with people. Keep up with the updates! Safe travels!

Glad things are going well. We arrived back in Missouri on July 1, so it feels like you were close by during your ride through Kansas. I included our website because we'll be leaving in August to spend a year in Lebanon. I also wanted to get in touch with Laura about Sarah Lovinger's wedding. It will be in September in NY, so she's not expecting many guests from Nevada, but I am putting together a Shutterfly scrapbook for her with notes from her girl friends growing up. Would you like to include a message? And any pictures if your mom has any of the two of you playing at Teel Creek Dr. You can send anything by e-mail. Thanks! Happy biking!

The machine was a total loss, as lost a little bit of wheat to the fire but no one was hurt. It happened less then a 1/4 mile form the center of kansas!!
