Day 22
Eureka, KS to Harvey County Campground (near Newton, KS)
70 miles


Today was our second longest day. We had cloud cover most of the day until the afternoon. We arose at 6:00 am to begin the day and didn’t come into camp until almost 6:00 pm.


We began by riding out of Eureka along Highway 54, a major, busy road with many semi’s and other fast traffic. The big trucks coming the other way just about blew us off the road.

The wind was blowing pretty hard from the side and front. Jake did very well. After 20 miles on Highway 54, we changed over to smaller roads and it was a great relief.

Going out of Eureka on Highway 54 the high speed traffic including many semi's kept us looking at and staying on the white line or shoulder area the whole time.

We had lunch in Cassoday, the prairie chicken capital.
