We woke up to driving rain. The clothes we had put out to dry were newly drenched. The tents were wet too, and the rain showed no sign of letting up.
We took our time, hoping that things would dry out a little. Wesley and Dave were busy fashioning rain gear out of trash bags, while Debbie tried to make her green poncho more stylish, with the end result making her look like a little elf. (Wesley and Dave just looked silly).
We wasted a little more time eating a hot breakfast at the Copper Kettle, and headed on our way. A little after the rain had let up, I got a flat tire. It was just my luck, since the day before, Wesley, Karin, and Debbie had gotten about 8 flats between them.
Lunch was at the park in Yates Center. The flies were gross, but they were nothing compared to the scary bathroom, located under an old stone stadium. I avoided it, but Alpine, Wes, and Debbie were all scarred from the experience, saying that it was like peeing in the Blair Witch Project.
The afternoon ride was pleasant. We cruised into Iola to find a campground with showers AND laundry! We were so thrilled at the prospect that we were a little late heading into town for dinner, and we had only one option for food: Sonic.
