Wet Kids, The Chisholm Trail, Buffalo And A Limping Dog

This morning I rode Southwest to the town of Clearwater and had brunch at the city park. 27 miles round trip.

They were setting up for some event at the park while I sat and ate Chex Mix and drank coffee that I purchased at the local C-store. The local Fire Dept hosing down the kids.

I stopped by there museum which was closed but there is some history to be learned outside the building. A mural states that Clearwater is the only town in Kansas that exists solely because of the Chisholm Trail.

Between here and there is a place that has a few buffalo.

On the way home I took a couple mile detour to snap a pic of the dog I posted about last night on our Facebook page. I just knew he”d be there, ready to give chase. Today I was on a faster bike.
From last night…

Riding in the country tonight as we approached a farm house a dog slowly hobbled his way down the drive towards the road. We shrugged him off since he had a limp and kept at our leisurely pace. Once we reached the drive the dog showed his teeth, let out a snarl and then came after us. We both pushed on the pedals and pulled on the bars giving it all we could to just stay out of his reach. He chased till he got bored then turned back towards home. After the high speed chase, Nova and I agreed he must have been faking the limp. Too busy trying to out run the dog to get a photo.
