Kansas
Thursday May 30, 2019 Guymon, OK to Liberal, KS 46 miles
"Climbing"= 373 feet Descent= 654 feet.
Cumulative= 1,346 miles
After nearly 2 1/2 weeks traveling through 3 western states (California, Arizona and New Mexico), we have now been in 3 additional states in the past 3 days (Texas, Oklahoma and now Kansas). Now we will be spending a full week in Kansas, crossing the state from the southwest corner to the northeast.
Today may be the easiest day of the tour, a mere 46 miles under blue skies with relatively flat terrain, negligible wind, factor and temps rising to the mid 70os while we biked. No reason to hurry since our hotel rooms would not be ready, so we savor end the ride.
We stopped at Dorothy's house on the Yellow Brick Rd. In Liberal, Kansas. Prudy and John were able to meet us at that point and John helped me change a flat front tire.
We also visited the Mid America Air Museum, the 5th largest collection of military and civilian aircraft in the country on the site where B-24 Liberator bomber pilots trained during WWII.
Prudy and John and I had another happy hour in their room before dinner, Baum's Ice Cream dessert, running an errand at Walmart, and back for a final visit over a little night cap. It was a really nice day all the way around, and a bit of a rest from the more rigorous days we've had.
