Day 8-June 11, 2011-Garnett, Ks. to LaCygne, Ks. and the Missouri border

Day 8-the last leg of the journey is a short 40-mile trip from Garnett to LaCygne.  Hard to imagine having traveled over the entire width of the state of Kansas.  But if you make it this far, then you can say that you have!  Cyclists finish the journey by dipping their front wheels in the Missouri River before heading back to their homes.  This last day, I am riding for myself and when I dip my front wheel into the Missouri, I will do so with a huge smile on my face.  And at long last, I can finally check off Item #1 on my bucket list.
