Sebastian wanted to sleep in a bit as the mileage for the day was only going to be 41, and temperatures predicted for the low to mid 90’s (much cooler 😏.) We got a nice breakfast at a coffee shop in Hermann. Biscuits and gravy for me and a breakfast burrito for Sebastian. We made good time to Marthasville where we stocked up on breakfast items for tomorrow’s breakfast after our night of camping. Before Marthasville we stopped at Peers store and bought a few Gatorades and some souvenirs ( a Missouri hat for Sebastian and Katy Trail hot sauce for me.) In Augusta we stopped at the Good News Brewery for cheesy garlic bread and some cold drinks. From there it was only two miles to out campsite.En savoir plus

Finally relaxing in my Father’s Day present ( a hammock)at the Klondike campground after carrying it for 227 miles. 😀 We rode 2.5 miles back to the Good News Brewery for buffalo chicken pizza and some fine conversations with our waiter Austin who is attending Iowa State University. It was nice to see Sebastian open up and take with him. On the way back to our campsite Sebastian crushed it up the .5 mile hike which had 16% grade for part of it. We are going to take a sunset stroll around the campground as we are high on the bluffs over the Missouri River valley. Only one day left and 57 miles to the arch. It will be and adventure tomorrow. 😀En savoir plus

Wow, amazing thunderstorm! At around 12:30 AM a massive cold front thunderstorm rolled through the campground. Also, included was a dazzling lightning storm with thunder rolling down the Missouri River as we were on the bluffs. We survived the storm to get on the trail toward the arch at 7:30 AM for our 57 mile day to the arch. The trail was crazy with downed branches and trees. We had to circumvent downed trees more than 8 time. We met some other tourist from Minneapolis and it was good to chat with them. Our goal is to reach the arch about 3:00 PM.En savoir plus

We fought our way through the outskirts of St. Louis craziness to reach the arch around 2:30 PM. We navigated rubbish filled bike lanes and shoulder, missing sections of side walks, closed roads, roads that didn’t exist anymore, gunshots ( just 3 or so), bike trail that just ended with giant walls blocking the way, and spots so sketchy I was continually telling Sebastian, “Hey, let’s pick it up through here!” These sketchy sections led to an over 25 mile stressful ride before reaching the arch.En savoir plus

Nearly 300 miles and we arrived at our goal. Lisa was waiting for us under the arch when we rolled in. I am so proud of Sebastian, and could see his strength and confidence grow every day of the trip. I know this days will be special forever. Tomorrow we take the elevator to the top of the arch and then make the drive back to Iowa. I may post some final thoughts in the next couple of days, or this may be the end for this adventure’s recap.En savoir plus
