Kansas City

Rode for a few miles expecting to get q ferry? No warnings about ferry out.

Rode to Kansas City, passing picture book farms, just like in a John deere calender. Did some back roads as the fwys are always fairly busy with trucks and cars. Saw a few cattle for Hugh. Mostly in yards at the barn. Almost no fences out in the paddocks
Took a trolly ride in Kansas to see the sights. Could not get to the arch as the park was under water. The Mississippi has risen from a low in January, to 38.5 feet above the January level, and now in flood.
Headed sth towards Memphis. Still taking some back roads. Got to Cairo, which was a town in decline, but where the Ohio river merges with the Mississippi. then on to Memphis. The weather was great temps got to 85f. good to ride with less gear on.
