Day 2: Route 66

Today we rode down Route 66.

We had a nice day of riding, had some forgettable meals, and met some very nice people, chiefly, Milt and Nancy of Odell, Illinois.

When we knocked on their door about camping, they invited us to sleep inside (we turned the offer down). A few minutes later when they invited us in for dinner, how could we resist?  The highlight was Nancy's ice cream sundae, topped with home grown raspberries!  Milt and Nancy were simply wonderful people and have convinced me that maybe America hasn't changed so much since Harry Wray rode in 1975.

On top of dinner we have a standing offer to use their shower in the morning, which sounds pretty great!
