SUN
WIND
That about sums up our riding experience today. Temperatures reached 103, full sun all day and very strong cross winds which made passing trucks a religious experience. We were on the interstate most of the day. Tomorrow we are going to try secondary roads and see if that is less tiring.
We did have a nice detour today by visiting the Buffalo Bill Cultural Center in Oakley, KS. It was a nice, air conditioned, education center with 2 massive bronze statues outside. Buffalo Bill's career included Army scout, Pony Express rider, ranch hand, wagon train driver, town developer, railroad contractor, bison hunter, fur trapper, gold prospector, showman. Cody and another hunter, Bill Comstock, competed in an eight-hour buffalo-shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name, which Cody won by killing 68 animals to Comstock's 48.
Tomorrow we will continue heading towards Gainesville taking non-Interstate roads.
