After a wonderful relaxing sabbath, we were ready to hit the road again. Today we put in around 7 hours of biking time and went 94 miles. Slow moving. Winds weren't as bad, but today we biked into the ozark mountains, which is why the following elevation map looks is as such:
Still a good day overall, although a storm finally caught up with us and soaked us pretty good.
We've also been working on our animal identification, so far we've identified turtles, snakes, scorpions, frogs, raccoons, skunks, cats, dogs, possums and armadillos, all as road kill tossed mercilessly aside into the shoulder of the road where we ride. Today alone we saw 10 armadillos.
We're used to the "share the road" signs for bikers. Clearly, we are in foreign territory
I love that the more " out of the norm" things you see are all completely normal for me. I grew up with those signs. They mostly mean that there are Amish or another religious group living close by that don't use cars. Miss you! Looks like you are having fun!
