Bloom where you are planted!!! Judy

Bill,
I didn't know what this was - wasn't even sure it was real. I did notice it was growing up a string support.
Jeff

Nancy,
Thanks. So far, riding and posting is working OK.
I haven't been completely bewildered yet, but there have been thoughts, "If I had my truck with me . . ."
One thing I can't complain about is this beautiful weather!
Jeff

Our Clematis vine should start looking like that in a couple weeks!

Nice shot of the daisies!

I am impressed that you are able to keep up with your blog and ride all those miles. Those gravel roads/paths in Missouri would do me in and I would end up sitting down in bewilderment of what to do instead!! Very much enjoying your trip with you Jeff.

Steve,
Thanks!
Jeff

Jeff,
Yes! Reasonably priced room at ground level, restaurant next door, and gas station/convenience store across the street.
Jeff

Jeff,
No, this was a downhill for me just north of Greenville, next to Hazel Dell Cemetery. Seemed a strange place for a brick road, being it wasn't right in town.
Jeff

Jeff,
I like flat myself. These hills in Missouri, where I am now, are work.
Jeff

Tim,
You're right! They're much better that way, I'm finding out.
Jeff

Bill,
Thanks!
Jeff

Good luck will be following

Looks like what my wife and I call a "good bike touring motel."

Was this in Hillsboro? I seem to remember riding on a short stretch of brick there a few times.
