Day #22 - Biking in Kansas.

Slept in a little this morning waking up at 6:30. We took our time going to eat at a local cafe and by 8 o'clock I was biking away. Biking in Kansas is a lot different than through the mountains in other states. I kept a steady pace, biking one mile every three minutes. If you do the math that's 20 mph. [Mrs. Craig, I may not be the best in english, but I know my math. :)] I biked 80 miles today and am looking forward to the days off in Colorado. I'm super excited for my brother and Maresa!! Tomorrow we are driving to meet up with my family. Then, Mr. G is going to meet with his family. This marks my half-way point across America, both in distance and time. It is quite sad that Mr. G is leaving. After the wedding I'll be meeting up with Dave, another biker I met on the trail. He and I are going to finish the trip excited together.

Mr. G - Today I visited Ft Scott National Historical Site.


This park was way different than the other parks I visited. It was much larger and had over a dozen buildings that were in good shape with museum quality displays in each one. Since I had a lot of time, I spent the whole morning there. After meeting Stephen for a late lunch, he biked for only a few more hours and we stopped early, 4:15. We ended up at a state park in Toronto, Kansas, with a lake to swim in and showers.


We even cooked our dehydrated meals and had time to play frisbee in the lake and play cards. I know I didn't finish the trip like I had dreamed of, but I feel good about what I did and am ready to see my family. I hope Stephen is able to complete the trip. I have really enjoyed traveling with him.


Stephen Rosenberger.
