Lovely tile (?) detail on the building
3 days agoThe wicked witch legs are not there! Oh, I know..they are ( were) under another house that resembles this one in a CycleBlaze post last week!
Oh!. A Munchkins brick, too! :)
Glad you are “liberal” and DT isn’t…
3 days agoWait, I thought the song that goes, "I'm as corny as Kansas in August, I'm as high as a flag on the Fourth of July" was the state song. But I guess you have to go to Oklahoma to get high so never mind
3 days agoAfter growing up in MO and spending early adulthood in Eastern KS, I was never much impressed with the landscape. I longed to live in the mountains or near the ocean. Now that I'm considerably older AND I’ve found the joy of traveling at bicycle speed, I appreciate the beauty of the wide open spaces and the interest of the local flora and fauna.
3 days ago"Church of the Great Outdoors", yep, that purty much sums up how I feel when I'm riding. I like that. May have to borrow it!
3 days agoTold you it was deer or antelope "playin".
3 days agoOh yes, I've definitely noticed that several times.
3 days agoRight, and I did say I just wanted to see a tornado from afar. As you know, big objects (like a tornado) can be seen from several miles away on the Kansas plains.
3 days agoYes, I should have identified them by number for more clarity.
3 days agoI'm just getting over being humiliated after that alfalfa/wheat debacle yesterday, and now this? Actually, in this case I was just joking.
3 days agoYes it's beautiful. It's just different from other types of scenery. The open plains has it's own type of beauty. It can also be pretty harsh though, and demands that you respect it.
3 days agoYou'll always see them next to the railroad for easy loading to transport the grain. And you can spot them 15 miles before you reach the town - seriously - once you spot them while riding, note the time, it will be an hour to an hour and a half when you finally reach them via bike.
3 days agoShould be a good route. I cycled through Dodge and Garden City - chilled out in Patrick Dugan's Coffee Shop in Garden City for a bit, your route passes within a block of it (should you want internet and a pastry/coffee break you can't go wrong there). BTW, has anyone mentioned that the wind blows in Kansas? It's always good advice to start early in the morning on a tour, but maybe even more so in Kansas.

No disrespect for your excellent cow conversation intended, but I do have to say, having grown up on a dairy farm, I tend to agree with your friend’s assessment of cows.
