Tuesday July 21

Hello,
We left early again and as usual there was a hill out of town and soon we going pretty good and on a good pace. Of course other things changed. The rain a mist started and was with until we got to macksburg 20 miles or so down the road. If you look close on the macksburg tavern you will see Melvin's and I autographs on the the wall. The mist continued until St Charles. There it was nice and we ate lunch. I am not sure where the eating started or stopped throughout the day. Ragbrai is often described as eating your way through Iowa instead of biking LOl. We were enjoying a fairly nice end of the day when of course we hit another hill coming into town. We were real lucky when we came into town and found David Lisa again having set up the campsite. But instead of on a school ground. They camped on a church site. Boy where they ever friendly. They offered free camping and free water and a real good supper with dessert. Later on after supper they came by the campers with even more free dessert. They were so typical of the friendliness of rural Iowa. We were bed again around sunset which was becoming the norm.
