Arkansas River Bike Path/Riverwalk -- Wichita, KS

While we were in town to watch a kid compete in the State Track Meet, we did a short ride on the Arkansas River Bike Path.

Fun fact:  In Kansas, it's pronounced "Are-Kansas" River, not "Are-kan-saw." True story. 

Keeper of the Plains statue.

In places the river is RIGHT THERE, so pay attention to where you're riding or walking! :)

Exploration Place science education center -- been there for kids' field trips!

Taking the family for a swim.

People are utter slobs. This was a trash can at the parking lot we parked in.
This was on Friday evening of Memorial Day weekend.
Can only imagine what it looked like come Tuesday morning.  :(
