After a quick visit to the Kansas State Capitol, we headed due north on US-75 past Netawaka before striking east on KS-20. This was the connector to the Glacial Hills Scenic Byway, where KS-7 follows the western shore of the Missouri River.
The riding today was mostly on straight roads at highway speeds, but was altogether pleasant given the clear blue skies and temperatures in the low 20’s. Some states or regions can be distinct in the consistency of the landscape. Arizona is mile after mile of red rock, Napa Valley is mile after mile of vineyards. And todays stretch through Kansas and Nebraska was mile after mile of cornfields.
Leaving Rulo we headed west on US-73 to Dawson and then north on US-75 to Nebraska City. A few more jogs west and north and we arrived in Lincoln in time to visit the Nebraska State Capitol.
