Right on the river all day and she is now a major water force. Just a few degrees lower latitude and the sun is bearing down wonderfully. Sunblock and water are the order of the day, but hard to keep up. Another really great riding day. It seems that Schulz had the camera more than me today. Ok by me.
Days are getting hotter, requiring more black and more water and more time on benches at gas stations, but that is all part of the fun. Schultz seemed more interested in framing this guy who pulled in on his lawnmower.
Back and forth between Iowa and Illinois all day as the Mississippi Great River Road snakes across the snake borders. There is Schultz plowing across one of the bridges.
A intriguing feature of the Great River Road is that there is really no great conclusive map. We are using a good old school atlas, a Garmin GPS on Schultz's bike, a map I coddled together from the internet and cell phones. Even so, sometimes the planned route results in cool dead ends and u-turns. This one was in New Boston, IL.
Mighty Miss growing in size.
Another bike rest stop, this one at Oquowka, IL.
Does not matter where, does not matter when, does not matter how much sun...I will still follow the Comet across the skies for all eternities.
