Walking 1:05:00 [1] 2.5 mi (26:00 / mi)
In Hesston and along the route of Santa Fe trail as well as in Abilene. The SFT, visible in a few places, spoke of the travails of early settlers. The Eisenhower home, library, museum and grave site were most inspirational. Ike was "my/your father's Republican" - 1956 has fast-forwarded to 2016's Trump the Obscene.
KS must also be known for friendly, helpful people - we keep meeting them.

Walking 1:20:00 [1] 4.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Different dawn, orange-red instead of yesterday's mist. Made my way to Hesston proper to Old Hwy 81 and then back thru old neighborhoods to 301 Lake Vista.
More walking in Lindsborg, a Swedish-founded town in the center of KS. Stood on nearby Coronado Heights for a distant view. No plaque to explain geology or history though. There was one particular view of a mostly straight road that disappeared at the far horizon. Almost exclusively perpendicular roads on a flat surface is one KS theme. Fun to experience the several towns we visited today and esp the Smoky River Mill that was instrumental in Lindsborg's founding. Turning wheat into flour with the tools at hand - another ingenious episode in our saga.

Walking 2:00:00 [1] 6.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Hesston, KS - 3 walks around the lake in Dyck arboretum - first around dawn with mist (not light until 0730), then with the group and the third near sunset. Warm here, in the 60s, and certainly not not what I expected. An abundance of green grass and light yellow leaves yesterday looked so much like spring. Wouldn't have believed 6 miles but I can see that the smart phone gps is accurate. Forgot the ant stick for the 310.

Walking 19:51 [1] 1.0 mi (19:51 / mi)
Token mile at BHS track around 5:30, breezy & chilly. 4 laps, changed direction after 1 and 3. Was down to the wire on 20'/mi. Turee was looking November.
5 yrs ago tonight, Hans B & I were crossing Casco Bay on a very similar type night, windy & cold. Life becomes more & more "been there, done that" ...
KS tomorrow, a definitely different destination.

Walking 45:00 [1] 1.5 mi (30:00 / mi)
At BHS and along the shore of Turee. Gale winds on coast & breezy by the pond. Had sights on Kimball with Beth & M but grandkids came by & plans went out the window.
