WHAT A CHANGE A DAY MAKES

We went down to Branson for our rest day in full-fledged summer. Everyday lows of 70 highs in the mid-90's and humidity--we returned for full-fledged fall. Everyday low of 50 and high of 60ish. We went from flat and gently rolling to STEEP!! We climbed more in a day in Missouri than we did in any day in Colorado.
Plus we were foolish enough to convince Andreas that he did not have to carry his bags on his bike--the Elephant would be kind enough to carry them--so I had to kill myself for two days chasing him up and down the hills.
The Ozarks are steep, hilly, woody with lots of dogs chasing us. They are beautiful but I am glad to be done with them.
Tomorrow we cross the Mississippi and head into Illinois. Another new state for me.
