Day 25: Hutchinson, KS

houston, the duck has docked in the fine town of hutchinson, kansas nestling my revived little feathers downstairs of a church that moonlights as a bikers hostel for weary two-wheeled travelers. the accommodations are unique as i rest tonight on an air mattress located atop their community stage in front of an area that seats fifty. this arrangement makes one feel somewhat like an exhibitionist with an uncertainty of who might be seated when i wake, but you really can't beat the price as these good kansas folk are kind enough to shack us up for no charge. so as i prepare for the nighttime act of this off-broadway play, i bid you all goodnight. before i go, as the nag was undergoing maintenance at the nearby bike shop, wounded duck managed to venture to the smithsonian-sanctioned cosmosphere. it is the 2nd largest space and aeronautical museum in the country, and was 1st class in every sense. i highly recommend it to all those that venture here. with that, it's back to business - duck out.
