7/7 - Newton KS: After an easy 119 mile day set up camp in a city park. We setup then invited to spend the night in the Newton fire station. Packed up the tent, went to the fire station, were shown around, showered, eat their food, slept in their training room. They have done this for many bikers in the past.
7/6 - Larned: This 66 mile day felt more like 150 mile. Ended day with a 25 mile head wind for 22 miles. Yea this is fun. Pasted 7 pairs of bikers heading West.
7/5 - Ness City: 103 miles today in >100°F. Road with one person going East. Camped in the city park, showered in the city swimming pool. Everyone is so generious.
7/4 - Tribune KS: 100 miles 95° and hot.
7/3 - Hasty: 119 miles @ 100° Eastern CO is lots of nothing. Route 10 is 50 miles of NOTHING as far as you can see, nothing in every direction. Camped in a state park which was full when we got there, but we looked like we really needed a plot of dirt so they let us in.

Happy Trails....... Steve -
