Day 31. Clay Center to Marysville KS. 56 miles

   Shortly after leaving, I watched a beautiful pink sunrise. It was most amazing. As I watched, a pink spot would blink at me through one set of clouds. I knew it was going to be a good day.
   I thought I might see a lot of deer today, but only two crossed the road. I did see a really big green bullfrog. Large farms remained the scenery today.
   I would like to commend the people of Kansas on two things. They are extremely courteous on the roads and the berms are practically litter free.
   Marysville is a quaint town. It is the home of the first home station on the Pony Express route. Riders would stop here after leaving St. Jo, Missouri. The rider would stay here until the return mail came from California.
   Our entertainment tonight was a first run movie complete with popcorn and drink for a total of $7. Hard to beat! Once again a great day.

  1. Man, you are seeing the barron parts of the Kansas countryside! Hope Larry can deal with all the Kansas and K-State spirit out there. :)
