A better yodeling contest

Katy Trail mile 93, looking east

I stopped at this scenic outlook over the Missouri river to finish my sandwich. Here I'm looking back east, and maybe you can tell from the sky why I was so worried about rain. I shouldn't have been, though, because in the end I didn't get a single drop all trip.

A few miles later, it was extremely muddy and I fell, so of course I took a photo. Notice the rain covers on my panniers - I was still expecting it to rain. I had to walk my bike through the slough, since there was no way to get started.
