Day 5 - Burlington, CO to Junction City, KS

We began this Sunday morning with an outdoor church service before our morning meeting. We left Burlington, Colorado and rode to Oakley, Kansas for out lunch stop. They had been grilling all morning for our arrival. We also got to briefly visit a museum with items from the area that was located next door (as in look at everything quickly as you're walking through on the way to the restroom). They opened especially for our visit. Oakley is quintessential, small town America with its picturesque homes and lawns. I would have taken some pictures, but we barely had time to eat lunch before we had to get back on the road.

We traveled from Oakley to Junction City, Kansas for our overnight stop. The town lined the road to our dinner location with over 100 people holding 3x5 US flags! It was impressive to see that riding into the stop. Several presentations were made and they served us an excellent spaghetti dinner.



Basically, we did a lot of riding today. Tomorrow will be a lot of riding as well as we continue to roll east.

Today's essential question: How would you plan for the arrival of a big group of people in your home town?
