Rest Day 3 Abilene, KSVisited Ike's museum and library. It's an impressive place. His family home is there, the museum with lots of D day and WWII exhibits, the library, and a chapel.
The museum was walking distance - maybe two miles and some people did walk. I walked a lot on our last rest day and I'm not sure it was a good idea. The motel people said that there was no other option. We were just getting ready to step out and a guy pulls up in a bus like the kind you ride at the airport that takes you to the rental car lot. Three dollars round trip. You call him on his cell phone when you're ready to return. We had finished the museum and were walking to get lunch. He pulls up out of the blue and takes us to the restaurant - no charge. Funny how things work out.
Tomorrow may be one of our toughest days. It's 108 miles and the third highest day in terms of elevation gain. We must be leaving flat Kansas and getting into rolling Kansas. I think it's going to be pretty hot too.
