Up and at 'em, I got going early in order to make certain that I would reach my next destination before the pool closed. The first half of the ride was easy, with pleasantly rolling hills. I took a moment to snap a photo of my companions on such days.
Here's a shot of small town America -- flags lined every inch of Main Street in this town.
I reached my destination -Ash Grove-- and checked in with city hall, then showered and took a dip in the pool. Thanks to my early start, I managed to arrive by 3:00, and spent the afternoon catching up on my journal. I enjoyed a nice sunset before turning in. Unfortunately, this picture hardly does it justice.
