Despite getting lost crossing Fort Riley, I had a wonderful time, until the last 10 miles when the heat and humidity really kicked up. I was really helped out by the soldier at the west gate of Fort Riley who gave me a gatorade, after I had detoured about 10 miles on gravel roads and then found the road across the base. If it had not been for him, I might not have made it to Ogden, Kansas where I resupplied with ice cream and water. I finally cashed it in at Little Apple Toyota and begged a ride. Thanks to Matt. They let me fill my water bottles with ice water and cool off in the AC for a while before they hauled my butt back to the dorm.
