We woke at about 5:30 a.m. to discover a rather dense fog. With deep valleys and hills every quarter mile or so, we decided that fog would be dangerous, so we slept in, here at the Palace motel, so we snoozed until 6:30 a.m. We ate breakfast in the room followed by a 29 mile ride to an all you can eat lunch for $5.75 at Hartville. I ate and tipped well! I was hungry again at the end of the day in Houston, MO in Texas county MO where we called the Sheriff, and were advised to cam at the Westside park and pool where we showed and camped. The ups and downs made me very hungry!
At the park, we met a guy named Tom who’s bicycling to collect for brain tumor research, collecting through a web site www.lifestooshorttour.net in memory of his cousin Rich Risley, who died of a brain tumor on 4/12/2009. Tom plans to write a book about his ride. Tom B and Tom the journalist talked about their experiences until about midnight. I turned in much earlier.
