Baylor students bike through Missouri

Two Baylor students are biking across the U.S. this summer. Here is part of their account of bicycling across Missouri:
Biking was tough today as we went through the Ozarks which were very hilly. Steep uphills, more than what we remember the steepest in Utah being. We biked until we reached Alley Springs, Mo., where there was an old historic city museum with the Flower Mill. Chad and I found a nice river where we jumped about a 7- or 8-foot bridge, landing in the ice cold river. It felt very refreshing though.

After that we had some steep climbs to Eminence, Mo. When we got there, there were thousands of people with tubes and rafts. We had a hard time looking at them because we wanted to be out of the hot and sweaty job we had to do and out there floating on the river. But, we found an awesome little BBQ place to eat at, where we got brisket sandwiches donated. The place was so cool, probably my favorite restaurant style so far. Very western - as you walked in, the rock gravel continued all the way in, with haystacks all around and a table in the middle that, instead of stools around it, had Saddle Seats to sit on.
