Day 14 110 miles 4410 feet of climbing 12.0 Average

Alton Illinois to Hermin Missouri
Today we crossed the Mississippi and entered Missouri saying so long to Illinois.



We are following the Lewis and Clark Trail as much as we can.

Another day of rain! There were some breaks in the clouds but overall we were wet again.

No flats today! No traffic either, just corn fields and farms. It was flat also until the last 30 miles and then the climbing started. All 4000 feet in the last 30 miles, it was a rude awakening after the first 70 miles were so flat.

Great dinner tonight and we are stating at a comfortable Bed and Breakfast in Hermin
