A one horse town (with a pool)

We didn’t plan on stopping in Eureka, Kansas, today. And we definitely did not plan on getting a hotel room. But as we peddled past the Blue Stem Lodge in the self-proclaimed ‘Horse Racing Capital of Kansas’, we saw the pool. We considered our options: ride another 30 miles to a town park without a shower, or escape the 109 degree heat index in the inviting pool.

  1. Hey! Eureka downs. While in College, I used to work in a photo lab in Clintonville where we processed and printed all the race pictures for that track (and many more in the area). Of course that was 20 years ago.

    Small world.

    They race quarter horses, I believe.
