Sunday Cruisin'

Today's Route as Tracked via APRS and Ham Radio

Today was another beautiful Missouri day, with high temperatures and low humidity... at least lower humidity than usual at 60 or so percent.
We had our usual at-home worship service this morning and after spending most of the rest of the day reading, watching son Chris win his road race via the internet at Road America in Wisconsin, and generally loafing on my part.
We both apparently thought it a great idea to take a leisurely trike ride since we spoke up about it at almost the same time.
I get tired of Jacque getting all the glory since she usually takes both the dawgs in her baskets on the back of her trike, so for today I hooked up my B.O.B. trailer and hauled Tinkerbell behind me, and Lilly riding with "Mama".
It definitely was lovely weather, although a tad too warm.  We stopped several times for breaks along the way in the shade of various tree lined yards, and the last lovely rest break was at the Montain Grove School Alumni Memorial Park.
A lovely spot indeed.  We have ridden past it many times in the past but this was our first stop there, and it is well equipped, with many benches and dozens of lovely shade trees, a wishing well, food dispensing building, water fountains, and restrooms (locked, of course).

We spent 15 or 20 minutes resting our legs and feet and I checked my blood glucose and ate a couple of cookies to relieve the lowness thereof.
Lots of waves from the friendly bystanders and motorists, and we again returned home with improved attitudes about the world in general.
