June 22 - Battle Canyon

We drove back into Battle Canyon today.  This canyon is the where the last battle in Kansas between the USA and Native Americans.  The battle took place in 1878.

June 20 - Scott City UMC

Galen and I went to church and Sunday School at the Methodist Church while Jen and Ken pedaled their way to town.  They arrived shortly after noon and Thelma, on the left, took all of us in this photo plus one other lady to a wonderful chicken buffet lunch.

This is almost the hottest temp our truck has ever registered.  I didn't get a photo when the temp went up to 102 degrees.

June 15 - Flooded road

We drove to Bueler, KS to meet Jen and Ken so we could drop off master links for their chains and food for them and for Simon - different foods.  :-)  The road was flooded so we waited to make sure they could get across on their low slung bikes.  Bikers who had just pedaled across stopped to take photos, too.

June 13 - Scenery

A Kansas wheat field.  It is getting close to time to harvest the wheat, but all this rain is coming at a very bad time for wheat farmers.

We saw this scene on the way to Jen and Ken's and stopped to take photos on the way home.  This photo doesn't show it well, but there is a cowboy with his dog, an Indian on horseback, a buffalo, a cow, an eagle, and a bear.

We nearly missed this touching sign that explains the reason for the cowboy scene.

June 10 - Do not pass Gas

We did not pass Gas, KS twice today.  Once to get our fridge looked at because it wouldn't run on LP.  Turns out there was probably just a bubble in the gas line because it worked fine in Gas.  We stopped in Gas the second time to have lunch at Bonnie's.

June 4 - Methodist Church in Chanute

We went to church and Sunday school here this morning.  They tried to talk us 

into coming back next Sunday to play music for them, but we had to move on.
