Day 6 - Joplin to Effingham (Aug 28th)web eased


We pulled out of Joplin Missouri at 7am, ready to burn our 1st tank of gas on the day & breakfast at Lebanon  An Absolute classic old style diner it was, right down to the toilet! (see pic)

We then tracked to St Louis driving thru  the centers cobble streets & sat under the BIG Arch before stripping off our riding gear in the 90 degree heat

After the refuel  we headed for the Hilton Effingham Missouri for a swim &well earned drink

Massive green feilds today full of quality well kept crops, watering systems, agricultural land, John Deere tractors. Easy to & see the real mid west wealth in stark contrsat to the deserts of the last few days

Tired & sore tonight, rolling ibed at 8pm, covered another 388 miles, now have, 900 left of our 3000 total to complete....
