Oct 14 Day 26

After a delightful breakfast at the St. Genevieve Huddle house David and I took off site seeing in the town.  This town was founded by the french in 1735 and then transferred to Spain, and eventually sold to America.  Many of the original home are still standing and we toured 4 of them.  David also could not resist stopping at a local Antique Mall and looking as stuff. 
Houses we visited

It was therefore just after noon when we started to go north.  This might have been a mistake as it was very windy and it directly in our face.  After 2 hours of work Dave suggested we stop for lunch.  I had elk burger which was great.  The bartender verified our can count by telling us the most popular brand.  We then than started north again and it once we while going down hill I found I had to be in low granny gear and was still having a hard time getting down.  It sucked and after covering only 30 miles we gave up for the day and stopped at an old Rt 66 Motel.

Motel ranking, today is steep up as the room does not have peeling paint under the window.

Beer Can count
Total yesterday just under a total of 90 cans with Bud lite winning the count with a total 58 while Miller Lite can in next at 45, Best lite came in 3rd having only 25 cans, making good appearance were Keystone lite, full regular beer reach a respectable total of 27 cans.  New to the count were 4 miniature bottles now that is real drinking.  No full size bottles thought.

For those following the woolly caterpillar count, the right to left moving group is still slightly ahead of the left to right moving group, over the whole trip by  just 2. 

Thankful for Today
I am thankful for Dave saving me today by telling me of a car turning into me.  I checked my new mirror and saw a bumper moving directly into me.  I turned away from the car and was thankful I did not hit red neck driving the damn thing.  So I glad I do have that run down feeling this afternoon and grateful for David yelling out.  If I had hit that car I would have been so upset I would have had to yell at the guy for at least day.

  1. Annie is doing just fine. We walked 1.5 miles yesterday and she didn't really protest too much. She moved slowly but at no point did she lay down. Andrew says she stunk too much for his poor baby sensitive nose so he gave her a bath. I hope you guys are having a great time with Di out there... see you in a couple of weeks!
