63 mi from ellington to farmington, mo; total miles logged 2507. Rode by a fascinating place, johnson's shut-ins SP, the site of some of the oldest rocks on the planet that form the core of the ozarks...they had reduced open hours and unfortunately we didn't get to see exhibits. We also skirted today the highest point in missouri (1700 ft) at taum sauk. Richard, mike, and I are staying at a wonderful hostel in farmington...we're riding together...they're stronger and faster than I but we agree on the day's destination and I get there.
Faermington's a charming town, attractive old homes, free of the scruffiness of the ozarks.
Today the humidity was lower and riding was easier. Tomorrow, illinois.

Dee, both of my folks were from MO. I spent many of summers sweating in the heat there. I feel your sweat.
