Hittin the road...

I've kinda made it a mission of mine to go see more of the state I live in.  Theres tons of places I havent been, so I'm going go try and visit more.   Today I went to Pawnee and Skedee.  Not much interesting in either town...EXCEPT!!! I didnt know Pawnee was where Chester Gould was born.  It should be painfully obvious why this guy was famous. 

So then on to Skedee!  I was concerned on my way out this far, the road went from asphalt to gravel and back to asphalt.  Some of the gravel area was washboarded.  Very scary on the motorcyle.  So Skedee was the home of the Osage Indians! But not anymore. 

Yup.  Thats Chief Baconrind and Col. Walters. 

Thats a poem/story/timeline that Col Walters wrote for the Chief.

I parked in front of the biggest building in town. 

This is across the street from where I parked.  Its almost eerie how much is not going on in this town.  I'm guessing when this place was selling gas, it was 49.9 cents/gal.  Straight up on the cheap!

So I covered about 200 miles today.  Not a bad day, little windy though.  The temperature was PERFECT!!!! I couldnt ask for better.  I'm hoping my luck holds into next weekend so I can take another trip somewhere else.

And as a little side note, I've dropped 35lbs so far! W00!
