Day 34: Marshfield, MO

Hello from deep in the Ozarks (a.k.a. land of many hills that make biking difficult). Here are some of my recent pictures. Enjoy!



Popeye and I in Chester, IL








Crossing the Mississippi. We must be important...notice the police escort.

This sign brought much relief.




An Ozark rain shower (campground at Eminence, MO)

We climbed this ranger tower and saw the following views...(next 2 pictures)



Breathtaking! (the picture does not do it justice)





I wonder if home owners associations exist in the country?!?






Thank you everybody who has left comments, encouraging emails and called. I really enjoy hearing from everybody.



P.S. Thanks for the care package Mom, Dad and Sheridan.

Hi Chad!
I love your pictures you posted today, especially the 'enough said' photo! WOW! I must say that I don't quite have the same scenery as I ride my short route each day.
Love you!
Mom

Chad! It's incredible how much ground you're covering. It always amazes me when I sit back and think about how different our lives are from each other right now. Camp is going well--we just finished our first week (kidney failure) and we're on to our second week now (burn victims). Things are going well, though I'm truly learning what it means to work hard. Sixteen and seventeen hour days aren't easy! I wish you all the best--I'm going back to Dallas next weekend, anything you need?
