I headed to Nauvoo, IL and found and all you can eat breakfast buffet for $10. I took advantage of this and fed myself breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack, dinner and dessert. Yep, almost threw up while riding later. It's so hard to be vegan when doing something like this but that's for another post. Anyway, it's a nice little town, nice people, is like to go back there sometime.

A town i never want to see again is Quincy, IL. It's heavy on the industrial side and i experienced a few bad things traveling through there but I'll tell you this one. I rode up to a park restroom and remember seeing this guy in a pickup weirdly parked next to it. I took my bike inside with me in went in the open stall ( no door) to do my business. I hear the pickup door slam shut and that dude walks in and pretends to pee, i guess. I'm just glad i can see my bike at this point and know everything is OK. So, he leaves but i can hear him walking around the rest room outside. I can also see his feet through the bar window directly in front of me. Well this guy gets down on all fours to look through it. So here i am sitting there looking at him and him looking at me. I say, "Yo man! What are you doing!" He left in a hurry but i can hear that he's having trouble getting his truck started and i imagined the panic in his little perverted mind. Thankful he was soon on his way and i couldn't get out of there sooner.

​I biked over 90 miles today and crossed into MO! Camping at Mark Twain Cave. It's a new state and a new chapter for this tour. It's been much more challenging than fun but I'm determine to keep pedaling. Dreaming of those mountians and Parks. Treating myself to a glass of wine. Yes, a winery in the campground! :)

Following. Loving it. Jealous. That last picture has me cracking up. I can just imagine you lying on your back, being like, "I have all the time in the world. Feet in the air." Gah. That pervert though.......... yeesh.

I wonder if he was one of those "concerned citizens" who are making sure you're the right gender. Keep pedaling my man. It will all be worth it. Had some strange times in Quincy myself once.

Glad to see you are on your way! Have fun and enjoy the ride! Contacted Merv Collins and he is going to take the gig @ Scorched Earth for me. Thanks for the recommendation!
