Well this is pretty crazy, two posts within a few days of one another. Well the last few days have also had some pretty major differences in our position at the end of the day as well. Right now we are in Clinton MO, the start of the Katy trail. We will take it East from here, flatening out our ride imensley. But there is one other major benefit to taking the Katy trail. We won't have to swim most of the way instead! The route we had been on passes right through the Ozark mountains which are criss-crossed with rivers and streams. All of which have been flooding like crazy after the past few days of unusually hard rain. Today alone there were 25 people rescued by the various fire departments in southern MO. Lucky for us we were able to stay in a church last night and we will be in another one tonight. Hooray! a dry tent and clothes, but from the last few days of things beeing wet and sitting in a bag my sleepingbag now smells like vomit, good thing it's too hot to really use it anyways.
