Picture: Spillway parking lot, Kanopolis Dam
When the weather is near perfect you just have to ride, even if it is over the same old roads you've been on before. Just to make things a little different I rode from Lindsborg to Kanopolis Dam (the world's largest earthen dam) just to look at the water. It would have been a great day to sail with a steady North wind of about 15mph and not a boat on the lake. I rode around below the dam in the spillway and camping area, stopping in the parking lot to take a couple of pictures and have a drink of water. When I was a kid Dad used to bring me here to fish. The water rushing through the spillway is still impressive. The area is looking a bit run down, not enough money to keep it up I guess.
About an 80 mile ride and it was 90 degrees when I got home. My friend, Richard, in Lindsborg has about convinced me to try a windshield. I will have to think about that for awhile. What would be next? A cup holder? Radio? GPS? the mind reels at the possiblities
