An early and quickly finished day. Sunrise was awesome today. We we're out of the church and on the road by 5:45 am.
We had to walk across a new bridge still under construction because the most recent storm wiped it out. There were signs all over the place saying, "Impassable during high water."
We stopped for a quick bathroom break which was curiously observed.
By 9:30 we were eating breakfast at Willy B's in Ash Grove, MO with nearly 50 miles under our belts, not to metion we were finished for the day. It was a schedualing thing because there were only so many miles, and places to stay with any sort of population, and we have to stay in Pittsburg tomorrow night only 70 miles away.
I stayed in the small, corner store of a public library with the sweetest librarians to stay out of the heat and catch up on the pics and blogging. I ended up dozing off for about an hour with my chair tilted against the wall and laptop in lap. I had a milkshake and a BBQ sandwhich up at the store with everyone and settled in for the night at some house in the county park. Thank goodness we were inside because it was still miserable outside even after the sun went down. relaxing day on the whole.
