Sunday, The Last Day
I stopped for breakfast at The Hen House in Cuba, MO. The first thing I saw after walking in the door was a book rack stocked with two kinds of books – bible books and diet books. The second thing I saw was a restaurant full of fat people wearing their best. Make of it what you will.
Today was a grand day. I’d read that Route 19s was a nice motorcycle ride and it was. I then hit 60e for a smidge followed up by 34e which was a lovely surprise. The gray line on the map doesn’t say much – dull, even width, straight-ish. But don’t let that fool you. It’s as fun a ride as any I’ve had on this trip. Crossing the Mississippi River into Illinois, I made my way up Routes 3n, 146e, 51n & 14e until I landed at the KOA in Benton, IL. It’s hot and muggy ’round these parts but the grass is green. Not much else to say. It was a route full of curves and hills, just like I like my women – curvy… with hills… and cows roaming on them.
Tomorrow it’ll be a short ride along 14e where I’ll stop in the town where the theater is I’ll be working at, New Harmony, IN. But apparently there’s nothing much else there, so I’ll make my way farther to Evansville to set up house and get ready to start work the next day.
