38 miles to Clinton, Missouri.
We only had 38 miles today because we added miles the previous few days. Lucky that we did that because my ankle is still pretty sore. We arrived in Clinton at 11am and the heat index was already 103 degrees. The weather report is talking about a "heat dome" that is going to dominate the weather for the next week bringing high temps and record high temps to the entire region from Montana to St. Louis. Luckily we will be on the Katy Trail crossing Missouri and there is supposed to be a good amount of tree cover and shade on the trail.
We hit the trail tomorrow morning. Again, it looks like we will be doing some camping along the trail so blog posts might have to wait a few days.
Hope your ankle is feeling better by now. It’s good today’s leg of the journey was relatively short. That antique village looked real interesting! Were tourists there as well? Anyway, continue to be safe-you’re at the home stretch.i really can’t imagine riding in 100+ degree weather. We’re Wrapping up week 1 at the outer banks today, Tomorrow we head to Hatteras Island for a few days with my son and his family, who arrive from Pittsburgh. Looking forward to beach time with the gkids.
