Dorothy's House

Today was an easy day. The road was flat and there was very little wind. We passed through the town of Hooker, Oklahoma on our way out of Texas and entered Kansas.

We continued into the town of Liberal, Kansas. We went to lunch and while sitting down I had another flat. This time in my back tube. We changed tubes and pedaled back to the hotel. My back tire wire bead came out of the tire. I now have no new tires and have 1 new tube and 3 repaired tubes. However, the problem exists as to why I had this flat. We think it may be the spokes, but Tracy checked the wheel rim and while she thinks it is not a problem she is going to sand down the rim. Hopefully there will be no flats. I have ordered new tubes from Performance and they will be in Abilene for me at the hotel on Monday.
We walked over to Dorothy's house (or at least a replica of the house). No pictures as it was not the original which I believe was in Culver City, CA and has been destroyed. Below a picture of us on the Yellow Brick Road.
