We began the day with a continental breakfast. Wesley was harassed by the hotel staff because he did not look as though he belonged at the hotel breakfast. After confirming that he was a guest, the woman came back to apologize.
The morning was rainy, but we made it to El Dorado (pronounced El Do-RAY-do by the locals) for lunch at a cute little cafe. We were happy to find salad and soup, the two things we had been craving all day.
It started pouring during the second half of our ride. My rain gear was at the bottom of my panniers, so I kept riding. Needless to say, I was soaked to the bone when I reached Eureka.
We opted for some comfort food: a Chinese buffet. Let's just say that the restaurant probably lost money that night, because we gorged ourselves on plate after plate of warm food, and followed it up with seconds, thirds, and fourths of dessert.
We camped in a large neighborhood park. It had stopped raining, but all of our stuff was wet. Wesley and Karin even managed to sneak in the pool before the sheriff rolled around to check on us.

Kansas... if you don't like the weather wait a half hour.
AD had so much fun "out there" he came back for more. I completely understand..wish I was out there with you. Just a few pedal strokes shy of the great state of Misery, congrats. When you cross the Mississippi you'll really start rolling.
We are all so proud of your accomplishments. You and your troops rock!!! Press
