I thought the heat might end my day earlier again, but powered through and am celebrating at a pub with a beer. 95mi to home!

Morning: Yay, I didn't get rained on. I beat the weather!
Noon: WOW it's hot.
Afternoon: Farmer Steve kindly throws my bike in his pickup and drives me to a motel so I can take a cold shower and recover from insane heat.
(Didn't make it to Galena. Stopped 20 miles away. But will rejoin my route tomorrow.)

406.5 miles later, home at last. (I have gripes with Google Maps. See dirt track photo. Also, it led me via a concrete yard, where a kindly concrete truck ran me off the road and yelled at me.)
