Day 27: HALF-WAY!!!! It’s all downhill from here. The wind was our friend today, strong south winds and a northerly route let us go fast and peddle with ease. We traveled back country roads that reveled beautiful farm country. The terrain is changing, more trees, rolling hills are beginning and the humidity is increasing. We arrived in Abilene, KS, the home town of a great American president, Dwight D. Eisenhower. After lunch at a local favorite and the best sandwich I have had on the trip I spent several hours at the Eisenhower complex. The presidential library, Eisenhower’s museum, his boyhood home and his final resting place all a wonderful tribute to a man that embraced is Duty to his country. Another 100 miles tomorrow. Hope the wind is my friend!
