After leaving Council Grove we drove across the State of Kansas, to Garden City. Here we stayed with Max & Marianne Miller on the evening of June 2nd. On the way, we began to more fully appreciate the sheer size of the state, as we drove through many hours in the farm country, and kept passing very tiny roadside communities, that were a long way from any urban centers.
We arrived at the Miller's to find that Marianne had fallen in the pool area of her local YMCA while doing her morning workout, and had cracked her wrist bone, and subsequently had been placed in a soft removable cast, which made for some difficult maneuvering problems and hand coordination.
We spent a very pleasant evening with them, and learned about their pre-retirement life on a cattle farm and Max's current business in ownership of a building in their downtown. In order to avoid any extra work for Marianne, we left early the next morning before breakfast for our next destination, which was Colorado Springs.
