July 8, 2009 Wednesday, Hutchinson, KS to Cassoday, KS

We camped at the County store and gas station and convenience store at a picnic table. There was no charge, but as it became dusk, tom was admiring a distant lightening storm and while was doing that, a neighbor warned him that the storm he was watching, was very dangerous, and advised us to move inside. The neighbor suggested that we ask the local minister for shelter. We quickly struck our camp, while Tom asked the minister. He said he couldn’t take us in, but suggested the local rooming house. We biked there in the darkening night, and paid a reasonable price for the single bedroom. We watched the weather alerts, and were alarmed to find that the storm had deposited a large amount of rain and hail over Wichita, KS. Some of the hail was as large as a baseball, and had smashed windshields of quite a few cars there. We were glad to be inside for the night.

Today’s total 71 miles.
