After eons loading gear at DerrICK hotel in Ness City, Kansas (emphasis on the ICK), blast off on highway 96. The city limit was the 1st stop for a photo opportunity and reminder not to exceed the speed limit. Karen and Becky drove about 5 miles to the top of a rolling hill bordered by fields of hops to wait.
They passed us in good shape with more photo ops, and down the road they went. Temperature was nice and cool, but a steady headwind made the 1st day "a grunt". They did about 58 miles and 800 feet elevation, and found the city park in Scott City. After a sorry "farmers market" in the park (only 2 customers) Neil and Mel enjoyed a rhubarb slushy?? and threw up their tents.
