yesterday we had a lovely rest day in smith center, kansas, the geographical center of the united states. we were housed by kind member of the community, which was wonderful (and which meant we got to sleep in real beds!) we also got our first newspaper clipping from the local smith center newspaper announcing our workshops in town.
the temperatures are starting to climb; yesterday may have been our first 100 degree day of the summer. fortunately, it also coincided with a day we were not riding. now we are back on the road, though it's still pretty hot, toward norton.
also, today at lunch we had watermelon, cut into pieces with our large all-purpose cleaver, which was quite pleasant.
thanks to everyone leaving comments and following our progress. it's great to hear from you!
love,
linden & 1BBM

Hi Katie et al, Grandma Peggy and I are following your trip. Sure sounds great!! But I bet that truck smells bad after a "fill up". Glad yesterday was a rest day. And we hope the storms aren't getting into your way.
Love, Grandpa Pete
Dear Katie and all of the others on the Great Oberlin One Big Bike Movement! We love following your progress, admire your energy and creativity, and yes, worry about how tired you must get, and what storms and other hardships you are having to endure. But most of all we are so proud of you and wish we could be on your route to meet all of you and give you at least one night of R and R.
We'll be with you all the way. Much love, Grandma Peggy
I'm jealous. I guess I will have to wait patiently for my turn to ride across the nation. miss your face.
