Pittsburg, KS

Today we reached Pittsburg, KS, four miles from the Missouri border! But aside from our disappointment, today was an easy day. We traveled 64 miles today, encountering a few detours and fierce winds.

The most interesting encounter today however came when we ran into Volker, a man who I and my older son met on the ferry from San Francisco! Although he did not speak much English, it was good to catch up with a fellow cyclist who was on the same path as us. Sadly however, he is camping at night, showing that it would be hard to travel with us. Although biking across the US makes it seem big beyond any proportion, running into him again truly made it seem small.
