Starting the day from Towner...
Taylor decided to see what would happen if he stored a can of coke inside his camelback with ice and water. (It worked!)
We entered Kansas today.
We saw a "shoe tree" much earlier in the trip, but here there are few trees, so now there was a "boot fence!"
This is dedicated church-going to drive 15 miles to church!
We've seen lots of wheat and now even some corn...
...and lots of "feeder" stockyards
This was Independence Day so most of the small towns had flags flying...
When we arrived in Dighton to call it a day we got settled in our campground -- at the county fair grounds! Then were able to take a dip in the community pool to cool off and get showers.
Pretty much the only place in town that was open was the Frigid Creme -- so we had Firecracker Burgers -- were completely attacked by flies. The longer we sat, the more flies surrounded us! What a difference from out west where there were few flying bugs.
Temporary workers were camped at the fairgrounds, as well, including a crew from Minnesota and all their equipment. We had to take some photos because the equipment was so huge, and these were the items Taylor contended with on the road throughout the day.
Thankful for these signs reminding drivers to watch for the cross country bikers!
