Topeka, Kansas

Today we cycled through the rolling hills of Kansas.   We covered 70 miles and had a lot more hills than we expected. 

              
We rode through the area they called the Flint Hills on quiet country roads.  It was a very nice day of cycling.   We had persistent very light rain and strong winds from the south.

The northbound segments were great.  Eastward took a little extra energy. 

We passed a farm, apparently occupied by a local wood carving artist.

           Looked to us like a flying pig

Since we are in Kansas, what else but the crew from the wizard of OZ.

Tomorrow looks like our last day in Kansas.   This is a big state and extremely varied from the arid western part of the state to the fertile farms of the east.
