Yoder, Kansas is about midway between Hutchinson and Wichita.  I rode there to have a late lunch at the Carriage Crossing restaurant.  As you might guess from the photograph, this is Amish and Mennonite country.

I had chicken fried steak w/baked potato followed by a slice of sour cream raisin pie--all quite good.

 

After eating, I walked around the town, which is not very big.  I had my eye on that storm moving in.

This is the entire downtown business district.

But, by now the storm came roaring in, dropping quite a bit of hail.

I had a wet ride back.  Notice the pile of hail stones on the windshield of that white GMC.  The green on the pavement is from the nearby trees--most of the leaves were stripped by the hail stones.
