I had hoped to get all the way to Cuivre River State Park today, but I drastically underestimated the hilliness of the Great River Road between Hannibal and Louisiana, MO. It was a beautiful ride, but very slow going. By the time I was ready to leave Louisiana, I knew there was no way I'd make the state park by sunset.
I had had to pack my tent very wet this morning, so I wanted to let it dry before trying to sleep in it again... so I went to the nearest campground, which was west of Louisiana, in Bowling Green. Out of my way, but at least doable.
distance: 37.8 mi
