Today’s Stats: Miles 61, +/- Elevation 1,434/1,345, Total Miles 1,677. Weather continues to be in 90’s.
We got rolling at about 5:40 this morning to try to beat the heat. First 40 miles were pretty pleasant but by early afternoon it was plenty hot and the last 20 miles were challenging. Made it to Eureka and took a dip in the pool at the motel.
Shelly and Jens were taking a rest day at a bed and breakfast along the route. We stopped in and enjoyed air conditioning and conversation. The B&B is called Sassy Sisters and it is in an old church.

Fun sites on this trip from Chanute to Eureka. Sorry about the heat, however. Didn’t know KS could be this interesting. Better not let my family read this. Love the picture of the shadow. Just finished reading Klara & the Sun. Will never look at a shadow the same again.
