Today we rode thru three states--Tennessee, Kentucky, and now we are in Missouri. We passed thru towns like Ridgely and Samburg before arriving at Charleston,MO. Now I can say that I have been in Charleston, MO and Charleston, WV. Along the route we rode past the Reelfoot Lake which is the world's largest fish hatchery. The lake was formed by the 1811-1812 earthquake. The Mississippi River flowed backward to fill the lake. The lake is named after an Indian chief with a deformed foot and the settlers nicknamed him Reelfoot.
On this route we crossed into Kentucky and crossed the Mississippi River by ferry. On the other end of the ferry, we were in Missouri.

After each ride, I jump in the shower, then wash my bicycling clothes. The ironing board works great as a clothes line...something I learned on this trip.
