We made it to Cassoday, KS, the Prairie Chicken Capital Of The World, around 7:00 PM and hit the only open place in town, the gas station/convenience store/snack shop, and soaked up the A/C until they closed at eight o'clock. Then it was off to the Cassoday City Park for the night. We have been very fortunate that Kansas seems to welcome the bikers who camp in the city parks, and we have stayed in one every night in Kansas. We'll see if our luck holds out tonight, probably in Toronto, yes, Toronto, KS. After that, we, uh, well, I'm gonna go ahead and say it, we won't be in Kansas anymore! Sorry, I had to do it.
The big topic at the gas station was a railroad collision with a tractor trailer that was carrying cattle just out of town. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but one of the locals, who was the driver will be taking a lot of ribbing for that one. Several cows perished.

Hi Guys,
Toronto Lake looks like a nice place to camp (and chance for the riders to soak off some grime). Kind of a short day at 57 miles. Will they ride ahead and then come back to camp?
Hope you get some cool breezes to help.
Dear Patrick and Sean, I would like to be pals with you biking. Have a smashing day on your bike trips. It's Groovy Baby. Smashing! Love, Austin Powers
You have beards! OOOHHH! I like IT! Love, Ashley
That's no chicken ---That's my son!!
