In Sterling, Kansas, Joe and I (solo cyclist from Baltimore) went to get some dinner. We stopped at a gas station and saw a guy pull up on his horse!! We got to chatting and invited him to the lake for dinner. He told us all stories about trapping coyotes, riding bulls in the rodeo, ranching, and all things country. As we spend time in these small towns, we're getting glimpses of a different life, a slower pace, a different world. After visiting with James, I think we all gained a renewed appreciation for the small town farmer, the difficulties they face, and the importance they have to our food system.
