Day 36: Kansas hills

This morning was cold and breezy, but clear and dry. After a 10 mile ride to Medicine Lodge I rode 40 miles through the gypsum hills and red hills. The landscape was interesting and the road followed the contours of these hills, a nice change from the flat. After a late lunch in a Coldwater pub I rode on. The hills continued, and I rode to Ashland. At 85 miles it was a much longer ride then normal. In Ashland someone suggest I ask about the "Isaiah House" to stay for the night. It was a strange mixup when I did. Apparently it's for people with problems and automatically when I asked about it he assumed that's why I was asking. Long story short, after about 20 minutes he realized what I was doing and started talking to me like an adult. So it turned out ok. I slept in a clean warm place.
