Farmington, MO to Chester, IL

We had a much better day today...only 50 miles in the sun! We arrived in Chester, IL, the birthplace of the cartoon character Popeye. Last night we stayed in the old jailhouse converted into a hostel for bikers in Farmington. Tonight we are staying in a bunkhouse hosted by the Chester Eagles Club. We have been blessed by these two places...they are awesome! So tomorrow we will rise at 5:00 am and bike into Carbondale, IL, which is only 50 miles away. We will meet with Jeff's parents in Carbondale and fuel up at Golden Corral. I hope they are prepared for a 2-hour feast! Our Bible reading is going well. God is continuing to teach us more and more about Himself and His will for us. We pray He is doing this in your life as well.

    we are praying that your mechanical problems subside and the Lord allows you to focus on your daily study and tour of His Kindom!! I reconnected with Don K today and he sends his good wishes!! Sounds like you will return a devote Baptist!! Blessings as you recharge those flats and spirits!!
