Day 6 (9/24)

A rooster woke me up around 6:00AM and wouldn't relent on his crows. I suppose I should thank him for giving me an early start.  I stopped at the local convenience store/gas station to get some coffee and struck up a conversation with a local farmer who suggested an alternate route to Chenoa, my next stop.  Perfect!  It was county farm roads all the way. A tailwind helped me keep a good pace.  I made it to Chenoa (and Route 66) in the early afternoon, a distance of 50 miles. After four nights of camping, I checked into a motel for shower/sleep/laundry.  This marks a transition in the tour where I will follow Route 66 to the end.

Miles & miles of Cornfields

Route 66 - I have arrived.
