Getting the salt, stink and sweat out of the clothes. Now all I need to do is get back up to my room to finish what I need to.
First McDonalds for breakfast. It was good -- especially the coffee. Jack (who's walked across the US), Roger (retired IBMer), CHuck (HS AD & coach), Dan (steady & strong rider from Indy) and Bob (at 73 already has several crossings)
Scrambling to get 26 hungry riders fed
... and they are off once again -- Judy and Gerard are in the saddle today now that Tom our wrench is in.
More country roads and small towns.
Flowers were everywhere.
Overcast and cool in the morning and it stayed cool most of the day
Lots of collapsing building like this one along the route today.

Black eyed susans
Not sure why I took this one, but I kind of like it.

Yet another muddy Missouri River. Tom our new wrench, says souther Missou in the Ozarks has some crystal clear streams.
This building seemed to double as house, storage and jail at one time.
Inviting, in case there are reprobates among us.

Grafitti left from previous incarcerations.
Peaceful scene -- lakes were the only flat spots today.
Town of Linneus has not caught up to Wal*Mart yet
Always Rolly
Great SAG fare today. Notice the dried fruit, blueberries and the oatmeal cookies....
... and as if that were not enough we got ice cold pop as well. mmm
The windy, twisty, ups and downs just go on and on
THis guy was very interested in how I readjusted my pump to keep it from banging on the frame.
... and then he backs off not sure of what I will do next.
The end of one hard day calls for a 32oz root beer float. Liquid lunch we call it.
And then to the motel for shower and lifting the legs.
