I left Farmington at pretty much the normal time (7:15) heading for Carbondale, IL - about 91 miles. Because of where the hotel was, I had to roll through town again and the same roads I had ridden the night before.  This time I took captured some video and took some pictures.  Farmington, MO is a pretty little place.  I rolled out through a residential area and then through the town center.

(Back on the Capital Tra...
