North Liberty to Tipton
Well, I’m 20-some miles out of North Liberty on my way to Tipton and saw the internet truck. If you read yesterday’s post, you may have noticed a little frustration. It wa a deeply unplesant ride for me yesterday. Today is going much better. The showers were warm; I managed to find some good food last night that wasn’t completely deep fried or 98% sugar; my tent sort-of dried out after being stuff unceremoniously in a trash bag yesterday morning; I had a good night’s sleep… other than the fact that I accidently packed my sunglasses in my bag before putting it on the baggage truck and I’m riding sunglasses-less today, it’s been a blast.
I haven’t managed to find any pancakes yet (I was really looking forward to pancakes this morning) but I found some a little home-stand on the side of the road and treated myself to an couple of kolaches…mmmm… an appricot one and a poppy seed one. I also got a free banana at the Iowa Conservation stand (they hand hundreds of them out and offer free water every day. They also have free postcards and send them for you — Sophia will be getting a few….)
Today is a little shorter (64 miles compared to yesterday’s 76) but there’s only 50 feet less of climb. It’s been extremely hilly. I’m feeling pretty good about how well it’s going!
Oh, and rumor has it that the Peanut Butter Sandwich place is 6 miles out of Martelle and 1 mile before Morley…. Here I come!
Grace and Peace,
