John and team pedaled to Ellington, MO (pop. 987) today. Per Wikipedia Ellington was named for a woman (Cliny Huff Ellington) who laid out the town.
John did not have very good internet access today so I don’t have many details on what transpired. He did relay the following –
“We ate lunch at the Dairy Shack which boasted a great milk shake and an excellent selection of 50s era rock sings.”
He also sent the following photo of the Current river part of the Ozark National Scenic River ways –
John, Heather and Jaime are staying at a free bicyclist’s hostel sponsored by the local chamber of commerce-
John also passed along this photo of a house where the plants are growing from the inside-
If all goes according to plan, John will be in Chester, Illinois to tomorrow. Chester is the home of “Popeye”. More on this later!
