White Cloud, KS to Falls City, NE--Day 3- 23.68 mi.
We had a short day today for several reasons. First in order to be able to find lodging at reasonable riding, distances, we either had to do one rather short day or one very long one. We chose to do a short day. We have laundry to do, we have tent seal to apply to our tent, we need to get these last three journals uploaded, and we both desperately need a shower. We have biked about 23 miles so far and are staying at a small motel in Falls City, NE. It doesn't have internet access, so we biked back downtown to the local library where internet access is available. This is a great little library. It not only has high-speed internet service for free but they even let us plug our laptop into their system so we could upload some pictures. The trip to Falls City, NE was a breeze, literally. The wind switched during the night and we were blessed with a tailwind, plus the road to Falls City was completely flat. It just curved back and forth around the bluffs. The Missouri River was often visible on our right. It was just a very pleasant ride. Today we crossed the Kansas/Nebraska border. Seeing the last Kansas road sign brings us to the Seventh Grade Question for day 3: The road signs in Kansas have, instead of an outline of the state of Kansas, a picture of their state flower. What is the state flower of Kansas?

Greetings from Mr. Sapper.
I, along with my friends from Fort Wayne have completed our journey from Council Bluffs to Bismarck. We rode a total of 600+ miles. I know what the winds and rain can do.
Your trip sounds like it is going well. I like your questions Mr. Gunter. We will have to get together when you get back to Indiana.
I will try to post some of my pictures so you can see where we have gone.
Take care, Happy Trails!!

-Frank,
I'm glad you had a good trip. We are just starting from Council Bluffs. Any suggestions for this segment?
-Barb,
We are planning (if all goes well) to bike until July 25th or so. The grant requires a six-week committment to the ride. Thanks for stopping by...
Josh,
Thanks for the good wishes and for stopping by. Yes, this endeavor reminds me of some things we have done together. I wish you were here, too. Besides your company, you could take some of the weight I am pulling....ha!
