Major tourist day. First we stopped at Nicodemus, somewhat of a disappointment. We did not see a single person, the Visitor Center was closed, and the five buildings on the driving tour were sad. Nicodemus was a thriving town of free blacks, but the railroad located five miles south, and the town died.
The world’s largest ball of twine in Cawker City was as silly as you might think, but the lady who was in charge was a delight. Gavin and I both added to the ball.
We heard about the World War I museum from a guy at breakfast. It is really a well-done museum, with interpretive films, a tank, a aeroplane, large cannons, a trench, interactive exhibits, and a bunch of old guys who are docents. That was definitely the high point of the day.
Tomorrow we blaze through St. Louis and on to Illinois and Indiana.
