The roller-coaster hills of north-central Missouri |
The weather over the past few days has been absolutely fantastic for this time of year in this part of the country. Around this time of year 95 & 95 (temp and humidity) is the norm, but we have had temperatures in the low to mid-80's for several days. You can't ask for any better at this time of year around here.
We went to dinner with David and his wife, Cheryl at "Captain Ron's" on Lake of the Ozarks. The 4th of July weekend is usually one of the busiest weekends for the lake. We had seen a lot of traffic on highway 52 getting to David's house... more than I liked with the narrow shoulder and rumble strip. It looked like it was probably going to be a pretty busy weekend looking at the restaurant parking lots.
Beth and I were up early to ride 22 miles to our home town of Eldon and visit my parents. Along the way, Beth struck a "gold mine" of Missouri license plates finding 2 plates in 2 miles along highway 52 and a third on the way to Nicholas' house. Just to cover her bases, my brother had already given 3 plates that were hanging in his barn. Now we have plenty of Missouri plates.... still not sure what we'll do with them!
Just a reminder if you would like to contribute to World Bicycle Relief to help Jim and Heidi reach their fundraising goal, here is the link: (see "Plowing Across Kansas..." for more info)

Have a happy and safe 4th of July.
