Oct 7 Day 22

We woke at 6 but got up late closer to 7 am both Dave and I enjoying some extra rest time.  Besides the temptation of the laying in bed the buffet breakfast did not open till after 7 so we were in no rush.  We had the lite buffet so we could have only the donuts, waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, fresh fruit, muffins and cereal.  I suffered with the joy of sausages and bacon but made up for the loss by having extra waffles, with extra whipped cream. 
Here is the temple in Nauvoo build just recently

The tour of Nauvoo was interesting.  We saw the bakery, the post office, Browning home and gunsmith shop, a tin wares shop and Taylor home.  The people manning the area are all Mormon and they spent about 30% of there time preaching the joys of being a Later Day Saint.  Both Dave and I had heard enough and skipped the blacksmith shop and brickyard.  The Later Day Saints have done a great job restoring the town but I think it is a little bit of cheating to use as a platform for missionary work, but it was worth the stop and I would recommend others at least look in.  Ind the Browning gun shop I saw my 22 semi automatic and Dads pump action 22 so it was a worth well to stop

We left town and headed south to Warsaw, because the wind was to our backs we made great time and reached the town easily by 2:30.  Dave then suggested that a the camping in Warsaw was poor and that we buy groceries and head out as there was a campground in 20 miles for the night.  We did this and at 32 miles found the Day Inn in Quincy IL meaning I road all 50 miles today, something that was not in our plan.  Our average was over 10.7 mile per hour.

Yesterday I hit a small stone or crack, or just lost control of the bike and ended in the ditch, no fall just in the grass filled ditch and stopped.  Dave laughed and asked why I did not use the brake.  I said I was trying to keep the bike upright.  Today Dave did the same thing twice but with his wide tires tends to "float over the gravel shoulder better so he has more control.  I did not laugh or snicker even a little, but have pointed out numerous times he has gone off road more times than I have.  He has quoted Cork poem more than once which is as follows;
Allan had a fall
In St. Paul
During a Rain
That caused him Pain

Weird Stuff on the Road today
Welding glasses
A whole cooler

Preferred beer to drink, drive and chuck empty out the window, Bush Lite 8 cans to 6 Bud Lite and 5 Natural Lite. What I can not figure out is why there is so many lite beers cans and hardly and just plain beer cans.

Thankful for Today
As with every day there is always something to be thankful for.  As we entered the town of Hamilton we hooked with Tom and his wife and they visited with us for a while.  Then they followed along to Warsaw and sat and talked for a few minutes while feeding us free ice cream cones.  Now kindness, friendliness, etc have been acknowledged before but not FREE ice cream so here I have decided to be grateful for today for Free Ice Cream cones (really for other stuff also)

Love and Kisses
Allan and David
