I just finished riding the Katy Trail, which is a historic trail of the route of Lewis and Clark. I encountered a lot of rain. This is the only part of the ride where I am on a crushed limestone trail and the rain made it very sloppy and slowed me down. My bike was covered with a white limestone mud and dust.
I saw Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca's tombstones near Marthasville.
I stayed at a cool bed & breakfast in Augusta and the residents are excited because this summer, the professional biking tour (Tour of Missouri) will be riding through their town.
Made it through another state as I finished Missouri today. I will be crossing the Mississippi and Illinois rivers on the Grafton Ferry, which will take me into Illinois. I have now ridden 3100 miles.
Take care and talk again next week,
Larry

Gee, Larry, already across Missouri? You are travelin, my friend.
Everything is going really well on the farm. Lots of rain and plants are lush and growing well. Couldn't ask for better growing conditions. Sunflowers will be blooming soon and the corn is outstanding. Sure glad it won't be wasted on corn/ethanol.
Quail really sounding-off on the north unit, but a little slim on the south for some unknown reason.
Rains keep spraying slowed down, but other projects advancing on time and probably above budget, but you'll be proud.
Keep peddlin, Larry, the remaining state lines are closer together.

Larry, you are the man. Your are reeling in the finish line and you will be there before you know it.
We are all proud of you at the LAF.
Hang tough and continue to smell the flowers!
dear Larry,
You have ridden a lot of miles. I am surprised that you have allready ridden 3,000 miles. You have allready ridden more miles than i ride each year. The farthest i've ridden is 12 miles per day. I think that it is great that you are helping other people. My uncle Bob died from cancer.
