Day 43, Ash Grove to Hartville, 76 miles

7-22-2019
Rain8ng when I got up, so late start.  On the road about 9:45.  A little drizzly, but the temps cooler.  To day I was depressed.  I question why continue on this journey?  I'm tired of the wind.  Constant wind noise.  Headwinds, sidewinder, wind.  Sigh.

I can say that my cycling youth prepared me well for this trip.  Enduring the constant winds along Lake Ontario and the side winds riding hamlin to portageville are pretty similar.  Now the Missouri hills.  Pretty much grinding around portageville.  All day. 

Ok enough of the rant.  Was only planning on going to Houston, but then got there early, so continued on.   Not a whole lot in Hartville.  Camped under the pavilion in their park.  Pretty quiet other than the stray cats in the garbage cans...

Delay of game...


I always greet the natives warmly.

And horses

I dunno, somewhere in Missouri

Maybe a bridge?
