OK so I really do not know how long Dave & I have been out so I will just start counting as Day 1 after Dianne's Visit tomorrow and all this confusion can just go away (one problem solved)
This morning the Super 8 breakfast was even weaker than yesterday's and that was not a good thing. We left the hotel early and drove to Colombia and did another section of the Katy trail 40 mile in fact. The ride was flat, fast and scenic. All the restaurants in the section of the trail are closed and that meant no second breakfast, donuts or coffee. We just hoped back on the bikes and headed start back for the car.
On the ride back we stopped to help two fellow out for a day ride without a spare tube that fit the tires they were riding. I supplied the tube did work and I supervised the fix. Always best to supervise the work as all the people that know Al know not to provide him with tools. (OK laugh away all you want I have changed tires this trip and Dave knows that, so I can work with tools on simple jobs.)
Next we drove down to St. Charles and the Lewis and Clark boathouse. The had a video of the voyage of the discovery and also some interesting artifacts from the time. Then we walked down to full size replica of the boats they used. The lightest example they had was a 3 ton dug out canoe that I could lift at all. I am glad I did not try to take that down the Mississippi I would still be paddling.
During the ride today we saw 3 deer and fox. Dianne said they were more interesting that beer cans. On other weird things we saw pair of underwear hanging in a tree, a mattress and box spring. On strange trail things we experienced rumble strips right in the bike lane. Kind of says welcome bikers but go home.
Pictures to follow.
Thankful for Today
I am still glad Dianne has come down for a visit it has been a relaxing couple of days and the brake from the hard biking has done me good. So thanks for coming down and supporting me.
Love you
Allan
