Eureka, KS










Eureka! This town has one stoplight. It also has a Sonic and I ate there about an hour ago. Today I rode through the Flint Hills region of Kansas. Its a really pretty area where fields of tall grass spread out like oceans, as far as the eye can see. I would've enjoyed this scenery much more if it weren't for the 40 mph winds I rode through for most of the day and the flat tire about five miles outside of town. However, riding through terrain like this is so cool and I've never seen anything like it before.

This was taken yesterday, when it wasn't raining. Today it rained all day long on a hilly ride through the Ozarks. No pictures available of my rainy experience.
