Zac left Ness City where he had camped with his Dutch biking friends. They ride the recumbent bicycles and have been informing Zac about life in the Netherlands. Both gentlemen are in their 50's(?) and have much to tell.
Ness County, of which Ness City is the county seat, was named for Corporal Noah V. Ness who died of Civil War wounds on August 22, 1864. At that time there were no known residents of the county. Corporal Ness never lived in Ness County - the name was selected by the State.
Zac and Co. biked about 60 miles, beginning at 5 A.M. and ended up in Scott City, Kansas, population of 3,800. Scott City is two counties from the Kansas/Colorado state line. Zac was staying with his current cycling companies at a hostel that offered borderline comforts. He is preparing for Colorado by having me prepare and send his "fleecy spandex" for the mountains. I have not handled this much spandex in my life since Zac is truly the only one in our family that has earned the right to wear it proudly.
