Farmington, MO to Chester, Illinois...55 miles
Well, on our last day in Missouri she was kind to us. Just a few steep hills and some rollers today. The weather was cool this morning but from now on we'll have to get an earlier start to beat the heat. It's August. We crossed the Mississippi River at Chester and entered Illinois our 10th state.
I took this picture of a Bird Farm about 10 miles out of Farmington.
One of my friends on the trip is Calvin Pletcher; I asked him today if his name really was Pletcher or did his Grandfather have a lisp.
We passed a church call the United Baptist Church; did the guy who named it have some Methodist cousins? And...they say I don't get anything done on the road..
