The ride was hot with mostly flat terrain, though we did begin to see the rolling hills we had been promised in eastern Kansas. We did an arrival and were greatly welcomed by the ARC of Topeka (TARC). They were great hosts, allowing us to to sleep in their facilities and provided us both lunch and dinner, with a friendship visit at lunch. I sat with Barbara and her cousin who drove Barbara to our visit. They were both originally from southern Alabama and Barbara kept calling me sir. It was rather tough to get any long conversations going with either women. Even though Barbara was smiling the whole time, she just wasn't a big talker I guess. We showered at the Topeka YMCA and then had a lasagna dinner with no FV. Andrew hung out a bunch with the two sons of Dawn, the woman who set up all of the TARC stuff. They played video games and ate dinner together, and played a little after dinner too. They seemed to be having a really good time together.
