The plan was to get a couple hours of biking in before church, which I was able to do. While I was biking I remembered that Cami told me yesterday, as we entered the reservoir area, that she thoughts she had seen an alligator or crocodile foot by the side of the road. That didn't seem possible, so as we biked together yesterday we looked for what she had seen but didn't notice anything. While I was on my own today I came across something interesting. I met up with Cami in Chanute, KS just in time to worship with a Lutheran congregation there.
I did a quick clothing change in the camper. Right before we went inside I said, "I have a picture to show you...remember that alligator?" and here's what I had:
...which indeed did look alligator-ish, but actually belonged to this guy...
Not the only one I saw...and not the only semi-scary image for the day...
Maybe worse than the tarantula were the dogs I encountered in Coyville. Wouldn't you know it that when I went one block out of my route that is where I ran into two mean dogs. Thankfully a woman driving by decided to come back and put her car between me and the vicious two-some so I could make my get-away. Forgot dog spray this morning...and hadn't used it before or since...
Known for firsts, including my first real dog encounter.
We got a kick out of signs all around here without the "h"
We stayed at this park managed by the park and rec department and the city golf course. Despite there only being one other camper there and getting a code for the bathroom, the bathrooms were pretty bad. Before I even got there Cami had tackled the bathroom with toilet bowl cleaner, lysol, sanitizing wipes and a broom. By the time I got there things were looking great and the shower felt amazing!
