Day 37-Houston On The Horizon
Miles Completed Today: 38
Total Miles Completed: 2434
Miles To Go: 1266
A morning thunderstorm held the team captive in Hartville until 1:00 PM so they were able to have yet another meal at LJD's cafe, their third in a row after dinner and breakfast. But the food was so good they really didn't mind. The "guest" in today's photo is Larry, the captain and "chef" at LJD's. His custom cooking rig was made from a large milk vessel and his former boat trailer, so BBQ, brisket, and chicken grill is mobile for big events up to 150 people.
Word of mouth we have heard for a couple of states now was that the Houston Motel in Houston was a must for bikers, so the guys decided on riding just the 38 miles to Houston, MO for the day. On the way though, they cooled off at Dog Bluff, just outside of town, and did some swimming and cliff jumping in to the Big Piney River. Then, since the latest Harry Potter book was going to be released on June 21st, they went to Wal-Mart, got some face painting, played Harry Potter trivia, and stayed up until midnight to buy their first editions.
