Takin a Safari

I'm here hanging out at a safari hotel with 1 dollar beers trying to escape the heat of the day. This is the territory of Osa and Martin Johnson who seem to have been pioneers to the state of Kansas. We've made it to a town called Chanute and it is entirely too hot to be outside. We ducked in here for a quick drink and something to eat and were graciously given the opportunity to use the internet in the basement of this place. The parks in Kansas are really nice and we stayed at one last night with a municipal pool and some sort of amusement park in it. It was crowded to say the least but we managed to stroll up and commandeer one of the pavilions. Not too much going on except trying to crank out a couple more centuries in the next few days. The terrain is greatly manageable and is a lot less taxing on the body. Hopefully we'll make it to Pueblo, CO in the next few days if we keep up our current pace. I'd say we're running at about a constant 13 miles an hour and I've extended great efforts to plan my rides for the better parts of the day. Hope everyone is doing well.
