Day 28 - Cycles & Cream
If you are of a certain age you will remember that every train use to have a caboose car that was manned. I can recall as a kid waving to the guy in the caboose as the train rolled through town
Every trailhead on the Katy had this setup. Great information, bathrooms, water and shade. This was the western terminus hence the small bell that I rung. The Katy is 238 miles long and I did all of it except the last 13 miles at the far eastern end.

Yesterday I had my first flat tire which I changed on the side of the road. Today the end portion of my front fender broke off, swung around on its wire mounts and dug itself into my tire bringing me to a stop in seconds. I was not hurt but my fender will never be the same

I rolled into Clinton and my first stop was Cycles & Cream, a combination bike shop and creamery. Ben and his wife have a great establishment. My bike needed several tweaks and I had a dish of Tillamook ice cream. Livin’ Large
