Kidney Bean Burger
Veggie burger made of kidney beans, rice and shredded carrots. Flavor was ok but they didn’t hold together. I thawed and used frozen carrots I had which may be why they fell apart.
Nova rolled hers up in a flour tortilla.

The Anchor
The Anchor in Wichita. We go to the Anchor for their great beer selection but hadn’t eaten there in a while as last we checked they didn’t have anything meatless that didn’t have a bunch of cheese. Was happy to find out that since we last looked at the menu they added a black bean burger.
The flavor was really good but the texture not firm and the bun was soft so it made for mushy mess. The fries were good but hard to dip due to their short length.
Update: Went a second time and the burger was firmer and better. Cooked longer I assume.
Rainbow Bridge
James Marsh Rainbow Bridge in Wichita, KS.
Abandoned At Lake Ozark
Lake Of The Ozarks Missouri at Bagnell dam. We made a quick detour and stop here on our way home from Columbia, Missouri where we attended the Pedaler’s Jamboree.
Found Photos Photos
Something I wish I’d started doing long ago. Take photos of print photos I find when out and about.
Abandoned Airway Beacon Arrow
I’ve known about these arrows for some time but never thought to look to see if there were any in my area. A friend alerted me to this one which I’ve ridden by many time not knowing it was there. Today I rode out to take a look.
The Transcontinental Airway System began being built in the early 1920s and guided airmail pilots across the U.S. A tower with a beacon and a generator would have set atop the concrete arrow. This was a spur off the transcontinental route that was between Amarillo and Kansas City.
Mystery Messages
Many years ago I started spotting and photographing these messages. All I believe were with my old flip phone camera. At some point they quit showing up. I can’t recall what the time span was. A couple years I’m guessing.
More recently I spotted this one.
