Day 34 - Middle of Nowhere

Ruby at rest. What don’t you see? Answer at the end

There have been several days where I felt this but today it hit me

No sense stripping pavement. This was a foot thick

Reciprocating rod lift. Seen a lot of these low end oil pumps

I rode 63 miles today from Chanute to Eureka. In that entire distance there was just one convenience store/deli. No other restaurants, gas stations, hotels, or convenience stores. I had a nice lunch at the one stop

The photo of my bike on the side of the road has no power poles. I went several long stretches with no houses, hence no power poles. Yep, middle of nowhere

Steve ClarkThe wild frontier still exists. Can't wait to see what Wyoming feels like to ya. The Chief Washakie Trail looks pretty remote. Maybe a team of horses and a prairie schooner would be a good way to travel, after all. Can you carry enough food and water to span the gaps?
