Chasing nightfall into Ferrelview
From my hotel near the Kansas City airport it is approximately 4.5 miles (the long way) to reach the small village of Ferrelview, Missouri. As I was making up the 8 mile run that I did NOT do yesterday, I felt it would be an adventure to run the 4 miles towards Ferrelview and back to the hotel. On Google Earth this seemed like a fine idea. Unfortunately, Google Earth does not do the terrain justice and while watching dusk fall on the prairie was quite an enjoyable experience, pushing my body over the many steep hills was not.
