Saint Louis to Springfield, Missouri – 216.5 miles

Someone said that I am taking Jax Levesque's place taking the daily newsletter as he had always done it so at any deaf event. 

Our day began at 8 am visiting the Gateway Arch.  It was well worth the time to sightsee.  In addition Bev Jean was with us from Chicago to St. Louis before she left for Tennessee.  By 10 am we were ready to move westward in the wet rain.  We survived the soggy rain for three hours. 

In Rolla, Missouri we stopped for a lunch at US 66 Cafe.  Excellent place to eat (fancy restaurant but very reasonable price)!

The rain stopped.  We had a brief visit at the Harley-Davidson store in Lebanon.

With 50 miles to go we were rushed to arrive at Springfield because the deaf event would take place at 6 pm.  I was a little naught biker.  I left the group and went on my own way along the US 66 routes alone.  I enjoyed the scene so much, but my roommates waited for my registration to a motel for an hour.  Sorry!   Ummmm! 

Two deaf bikers from Tulsa, Oklahoma joined us.

By nightfall we dined at the beer brewery where the local deaf people were gathered.  We had a nice night.  The rain resumed by the time we got back to our motel at ten pm.   We were somewhat wet.
