Today we drove from Lake George to the Cimarron Grasslands in Kansas. We are staying about 3 miles from Elkhart. LOVE LOVE LOVE it here! The drive was about 6 hours long, and we took a reststop in Sringfield (the closest town to the Comanche grasslands, where we worked last spike). Elkhart is a small town. Springfield is a ghost town. Noel and I brought our bikes down here, and I am sooo glad! After we unpacked the trucks we went for a ride into Elkhart. Its beautiful here! It is warm and light. The air smells good, there altitude is gone. The town feels comfortable and the roads are easy to ride. No longer do we live in a black pit of despair. We live in the glorious Elysian fields, where sunshine rules and joy abounds! Its after 8oclock, and its still light out! And its warm. GLORIOUS! We are going to take nice rides after work. We could easily do distance rides and be back before dark.
