Day 41:
Heavy rain, clouds, lightning, breezy, foggy. Overall completely terrible weather, and it couldn't be more welcomed by me. Finally a day where I can ride in comfort. Instead of doing my normal day off for Friday, I decided to split it into two half days so I'd have a chance to explore more. Did my laundry and cleaned up, then hit the road late in the afternoon. Rode 52 miles through the Ozark National Park, rode around the area and took some pictures. Finished my ride in Eminence, Missouri at a $5 campground with a shower and a nice camping spot under some low trees.
Day 42:
Rode just 29 miles into Ellington, Missouri, swam at the Current River on the way, then stayed with Herman G. R. Freiherr von Stein from warmshowers.org. Herman made me dinner, breakfast, gave me a shower, a comfortable bed to sleep in, an air conditioned relaxed environment, and some awesome stories from his youth in Germany. He even took me to get a haircut! Later that day the infamous John showed up and stayed at Herman's as well.
You better be letting your beard grow out, hear me?
