Day 1: 100 Degrees on Far Eastern Plains
(Kanorado, KS to Seibert, CO)
| Goodness! I woke up *really early* to head out to Kanorado! |
 |
| Special thanks to Marc Fey and Scott Kerr for driving me out there! :) |
 |
| Yippee! At the Colorado/Kansas border! :) |
 |
| A nice sappy shot of Scott and Marc (Visit Marc's web site!) |
 |
| After riding a few miles east, I can across this grim sign! :) |
 |
| Now you got to realize, it was so hot outside that I didn't bother taking that many pictures. Yet here's a few shots of hay bails! |

 |
| This was in downtown Vona, population 100! :) |
 |
By the time I reached Stratton, my brains were fried from the heat! (And I thus resolved to do most of my biking WAY EARLY in the morning at 5 a.m.)
That dude at the rest stop was really friendly so I got a picture of him.
Bottom right picture: Let me tell you, ANYTHING that offered shade was my friend that day! ;) |

I wound up finishing the day at a campground in Seibert, Colorado, just 45 miles from the Kansas border. I was not very pleased with my biking at all, but tomorrow would be a better day! :)
