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.

As I mentioned in my last post, I decided to take a day off.  I was due and this is the best town around to do it because there's places to eat and a Walmart and Kroger.  So, I slept in a bit, checked and cleaned my bike, posted on this blog, and basically lounged around. Kinda boring, but I've got a lot ahead of me.  I'm hoping to make Damascus, VA by Sunday.
