In which we need some water, we cross some mountains, and enter a very different place called Bulgaria.

Mountain View – Wooly Hollow, AR So there has been a certain amount of confusion about our eating regimen. This post is designed to clear up at least a few of the questions. First off, we do have a stove along with us. It’s a small one-burner unit. Some people have suggested that we should…

Mountain Home – Mountain View, AR This day maybe combined all the different things that you might think of when you think about the Ozarks into one day. Super beautiful. Maybe more beautiful than we had given the Ozarks credit for. It really is pretty amazing. Love the terrain and the vistas and the rivers.…

Ava, MO – Mountain Home, AR Last night we did our usual prep for today’s ride. Destination? Weather? Place to stay? Roads? Stops along the way? We have to analyze all of this to make a plan . . . I’ll spend more time on the details here, because they come back into the story…

Lebanon – Ava, MO – via the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home & Museum Yesterday’s ride finished on Highway 5. Ugly. Fast. Lots of semis. Divided highway. Just kind of depressing.

Throw in some signs commemorating various aspects of the Lewis & Clarke Expedition, a few trail towns with some occasional amenities, and it’s…

St. Louis; St. Louis – Defiance, MO Yesterday was a day off . . . Diana style. What does that mean? As a start, it means no blog post – because there wasn’t time. Let’s see . . . Here was a brief recap of our day: I will say, though, that this was a…

Kampsville, Illinois – St. Louis, Missouri I keep wanting to say “You’re not in Kansas any more” – really meaning that “You’re not in Iowa anymore . . .” But I’m also thinking that I should stop picking on Iowa . . . On another, related, front . . . I’ve never considered myself much…

Hannibal, MO – Kampsville, IL Now that’s what bike touring is supposed to look like. Bucolic scenes. Nice roads with very little traffic. Little towns every five to ten miles – complete with occasional grocery stores, gas stations, and, as we shall see, nice diners. And then a surprise campground right in town at the…
