Houston, MO to Marshfield, MO - 68 miles
Another early start. Alarm went off at 4:45 am. I am awake and refreshed. Best night sleep since the beginning of the trip. It was nice riding this early as we get to ride in the shade for the most part. Even by 8 am, with about 25 miles under our belt, it's still 85 degrees and Humid. Our first rest stop was at smoll small little store that sold mainly horse bits and screws, and thankfully biscuts and gravy.
The rolling hills continued and so did the heat. uuuuppppp... dooowwwnnnn... uuuuppppp....dooowwwnnnn...
We arrived in Marshfield around 12:30 pm. We went to this small bookstore/cafe and had smoothies and used the wifi. After some blogging I dosed off for about an hour. The rest of the group woke me to say they were going to the campsite to set up and go to the pool. Dusting and I were showing the local kids how its done with cannonballs and can-openers. After the pool we headed over to the First Baptist Church for a feast. They were so kind to prepare all that food and drink for us.
We got there just in time as the heavens opened up and dumped its wrath upon us.
The church was further kind enough to let us stay the night in their gym. So thankfully for being too anxious to get in the pool that afternoon I didn't set up our tents and therfore didn't have to worry about going back to the site for my gear. Thank you Marie and James for the food and support last night! Stephanie, our prayers are with you, stay strong and healthy, you have a beautiful family and we wish you the best!
