Oct 20 Day 1 after Di

Got to be quick here as the blog site will go down soon today to fix the image posting system.

Here is a snap shot taken yesterday.  Please vote who is more styling the red coat or blue coat.  Unless you thing I am cute please ignore personal appearance.   If you vote red you can vote once only if you vote blue vote often and have a drink after each vote (so you can forgot you voted before), remember the blue coat was for the demolition derby campsite. 
 OK here is the boat ranch on the river we found yesterday check out the Cadillac ranch from Di and my trip.


Here is a Lewis and Clark canoe and the Keel boat they started out with I would not take either of them but that is me. 




OK enough history.

Di dropped Dave and I off in Valmeyer this morning and we found the route we took a week ago.  It was a little further south than I wanted to be but I was lost (as normal and we missed the stop point originally selected).  We found the route again and took off.  No beer can count today as we counted this section before and we did not want to double count. 

We covered 45 miles to the town Chester the route was flat and smooth and therefore fast.  We stopped at the Pierre Menard home build in 1818.  The town surrounding the home is gone but the home is still standing here is a picture of it. 

We stopped at the Best Western Hotel and I am a little hopeful for a better breakfast tomorrow morning than the last couple of days.  On the upside we had a good lunch so maybe things are working out.

Thankful for Today
Dave has suggested we should be thankful for good friend.  Some examples are Dianne that has put up with Dave and me for the last couple of days.  Paul and Crystra who helped solve problems allowing Dave the freedom to support me on this difficult trip.  Thanks again Donna for lending Dave.  Thank Dianne for visiting and giving Dave a break from me (he might still kill me but I believe I gained at least a couple of days.)

Love and Kisses to all and to all a good night.
Allan and Dave.

  1. I had a really good time visiting with you two. It was a lot of fun. I have to vote for the blue coat because I got to wear it for a little while and I really liked it.
    Lots of love, Di
