Springfield couple rides across U.S.

An article in today's Springfield News-Leader tells about Doug and Rae Nickell's ride across the TransAmerica Trail:
The Nickells made their way across flat yet gradually uphill Kansas, sometimes against strong headwinds. They went through Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks — among the best in the country, the couple agree.

The Rocky Mountains are along the route, as is a long ride adjacent to Idaho's Salmon River.

"At 12 miles an hour on an average, you see everything," Rae says. "From the little farm along the road to beautiful flowers. Life was very simple. ... The bottom line is we were having a great time. We enjoyed the entire thing."
