End: Marthasville, MO
Distance today: 79.7
Total: 1283.5
I think this is the first picture we have of both of us at the same time (courtesy of the staff at the Bike Stop Cafe, in St Charles, MO, where we stopped for lunch before starting on the Katy Bike Trail through Missouri)
Stopped in Marthasville for the night, a town of about 800 people. When we asked around about a campsite, we were told to try the community club, a public park that had showers. Sure enough, the folks running the concession stand let us wash up and set up our tents, but warned us that there would be softball league games until about 11pm
We showered and walked into "town" to find somewhere to eat. After walking down both streets in town, and finding nothing that looked like it had been open in years, much less open that evening, we went back to the park to dine on concession stand hot dogs and cheap beer, and watch some softball, and let me tell you, this is the place to be! Everyone in this town and the neighboring three towns over between the ages of 21 and 40 must be here playing softball!
