Day 27: into the ozarks

Because of some discussion about my route with the locals I decided to reroute to a highway 15 miles north of Marble Hill. My host volunteered to drive me to the new starting point. After a good nights rest and a bit of a drive I started from Fredricktown. I rode down highway 72 to where it meets with highway 21 and the TransAmerica. After and comfortable 65 mile ride I stopped in Ellington. While at the park I was mistaken for another eastbound rider who had arrangements to stay with a family. They decided to take me in as well. Tomorrow's ride will be hilly.
