New York to California 2008

I wish I knew which ones are friendly.

Today was 61 miles of absolutly nothing but fields. There is plenty of
room out here for at least a couple hundred years.

65.7 miles

Towns are few and far between.

On my way to find a park in Scott City, KS (56.8 miles) I found out
about this gym that let's bikers sleep on their pullout couch for 10
bucks. Plus they have an indoor pool!

Towns form around these huge silos. Every town has one and a lot of
towns have nothing else. I was told they are farmers co-ops and a
bunch a farms work together. It is so flat and open that you can see
these things from miles away. The closest these towns ever are is
maybe 15 miles, but you can actually see from one to the next. It's
so wide open you get this strange feeling. Odd.

So I had to wait for a kids swim class to finish before I could swim,
but then the owner told me it's against the law for me to use the pool
after every went home. I assumed this was for insurance purposes and
what he was really saying was go nuts!

These guys were stuck with two busted spokes on the hub side. The
spares I had were long enough to rig something up and get them moving.

Been running into more people riding.

Well actually it's still flat, but at least it's the right hour.

46.9 miles

I ended up today at the same place as Ken and Sue from over a week
ago. The town pool here open today so I got to swim again.

I've been waiting to say that for so long.

By far the biggest state sign yet.

I used my timer for that shot.

59.9 miles to Eads, CO and I'm lucky to stay with the parents of a
friend of a sibling.

Gary and Cheryl Davis were so kind and after spotting me in towm and assuming I was the brother of their daughter's friend, let me stay with them
and shared a amazing dinner. Their dog Fang was too much.
