Thursday morning I got off a boring 24 hour shift at work and decided I wanted to go for a ride. Originally it was going to be to West Virginia, but the forecast for the area changed my mind quick. I decided on riding to Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri's northeastern Ozarks.
Packed everything up and headed out by 0900 Thursday morning. I decided to just take super slab the way down since IL offers no scenery even on back roads-get me the hell outta this state!
day 1 (5\15\14) home to Mark Twain NF; 370 miles
Left home in a cold rain
SELFIE! Yikes that a lot o high viz!
It wasn't long until I was southeast enough to get past the rain. Starting to clear up. Soak in that beautiful scenery! *barf*
Springfield was a good half way point and came just in time for me to need fuel. Besides I've never been!
Crossing the mighty mississip. Missouri is a new state for the fz.
Once past St. Louis I kept seeing dark clouds ahead. It was really spotty rain. I would dodge one, but another would come out of nowhere and soak me!
Onward. Finally some topography once past STL!
