Madi here again-now, with 12 miles left in Kansas, we are in the Kansas we saw in RAAM. Kansas along 70 is a very different Kansas than I saw in June. It's very green and hilly and populated. Beautiful compared to what AFC cycled through earlier this summer. Though I think this would have much more difficult to bike through, not to mention the shoulder hasn't been paved for about 250 miles, he he.
Alec has a question for y'all. What state do the Kansas City Royals play in? He will give the first person who posts on the blog a pack of sour skittles, and unlike Merrill he will actually give the prizes out... ;-)
Side note-yesterday we saw PT cruiser with a matching painted PT trailer (think mini-PT cruiser) cruising down the highway. Who'da thunk?
We found another geocache this morning, the Grain Bin. We'll send a pic and details next time. It was my first. Very exciting. We walked straight to it. I'm very impressed with my sense of direction, ;-). Of course, I must say Timmy helped a little. (We named our handheld GPS Timmy in honor of one of our cousins who we wish was our on trip with us.)
Ooopss, we bring you this important announcement, "Dorothy, you aren't in Kansas any more!!" Woo hoo, we are in CO!!
Signing off for now.
Edited to add-the picture added is from the second geocache we found overlooking Ft. Riley. Alec looks smashing in his hat.
And Mike is grinning from ear to ear at the moment as we are drafting an 18 wheeler and getting about 23 mpg at 77mph. Oh the little things in life are just wonderful.
And at the moment, CO looks almost just like Kansas.
