30 may2024 enroute to st. Joseph, MO.

 2 ride dedications today, One is for Stacy who has been cancer free for eight years and the other is for Connie.  Congrats Stacy!!


We left this morning at 7:30 and less than a mile from the hotel I saw an Amoco gas station with gas at $3.01 per gallon. I’m pretty sure over the course of the day I saw it as low as $ 2.97.


Another farmhouse with a winding road and then a brief stop at the sign to remind me of the SAG stop and only 9 miles to go. Woo hoo.



I’m pretty sure I have seen this yellow crop duster before but he happened to be coming in and give me a chance to stop and snap a picture of it. I noticed this field I’m not sure if you can see the topography or not but it’s set in levels apparently to keep the water from running off. And finally another “road to nowhere“.






The second SAG stop was at dairy queen and I noticed these rocks. The Rockwall is breaking away at the bottom and as it gets weaker then the top breaks loose. Kind of interesting.


After the rest stop in a mile is the bridge over the Missouri river and then the welcome to Missouri sign.



Going up the road from Kansas to Missouri I had to make a sharp left and it ran parallel to a mountain ridge on our right very lush very green and lots of trees. And of course a railroad track with an oncoming train.



After the train passed it was interesting how this road headed toward the mountain and then shifted to the left and followed the mountain range that you see.



Tomorrow we head to Chillicothe, Missouri the home of sliced bread and quite possibly a heavy rain day. I sincerely hope that I’m wrong.
