Day 19 - Hookers, Liberals, Dorothy and Toto...riding the yellow brick road

Day 19
Guymon OK to Liberal KS
40 Miles, shortest day of the crossing and well needed after yesterday.

This morning we were able to sleep in due to a 2 hour later start time of 9:15 since we were only riding 40 miles. The weather today was fantastic compared to yesterday, slight headwind and cool temperatures.

At mile 18 we rode into the town of Hooker Oklahoma, not much in Hooker but we stopped into the Chamber of Commerce where there was a sweet old lady who has heard every hooker joke possible. She just smiled and laughed at our "funny jokes" while she sold a couple hundred bucks of Hooker T-Shirts.
There is a lesson to be learned here, name a town something like this and make a fortune selling t-shirts & mugs (here comes the plug) and when you need promotional apparel or products be sure to contact Proforma Prosource Marketing Group www.proformaprosource.com seriously....this bike ride cost a load of dough and I need to pay for it and if I don't do some biz during the ride Stephanie will be pissed :)

                                           Another day, another state...Hello Kansas.

We will be in Kansas for 6 days. The ride takes us from the southwest corner of the state to the northeast corner where we ride into St. Joseph MO.

This is pretty much what I expect to see for the next week, fields of "something" as far as I can see and then coming to a town, We have Dodge City, Great Bend, Abilene and Topeka coming up, should be a fun week.

Liberal KS is "Home of Dorothy" and has Wizard of OZ land to prove it.

At Dorothys' House..She has her own statue.

Wizard of OZ Land will never be mistaken for Disneyland but I had to make the 3 block detour to get the pictures for the blog.

Tomorrows ride is to Dodge City  and will take us past The Dalton Gang Hideout and Boot Hill Museum.

The Hookers & Liberals were fun but it is time to move on.

Dream BIG, Jeff
