Sunday it turned seriously hot and we all learned the value of an early morning start. Lunch was in a charming little school in the tiny town of Beeler. Our ultimate destination was Ness City. Travelled 58.24 miles of still nearly level road in 04:01, for an average of 14.4 mph.

No hardtack and grog, but cookies and Gatorade.
