Wetlands


We had a great day today. We set off the earliest ever to beat the heat and it worked really well. In Larned we crossed paths with a cyclist cycling across in the opposite direction. It was fun to exchange quick stories. We loved the change in scenery; big trees, green meadows with healthy cows and their calves sprinkled on them and plenty of little rivers and creeks. The prettiest surprise towards the end of our ride was riding through the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge. A remote country road almost without any traffic leading us through wetlands and salt marshes. We enjoyed a whole array of wild-life: we saw snakes and turtles and frogs and had birds circling around us playing chase. It was a lovely surprise to finish off our riding week before the rest day. We also are now through our half-way point- unbelievable. Please, help us spreading the word and raise awareness for brain-cancer. And thank you for following us.
