The amazing Leath family!
Home of the most delicious casino buffet
We left our campsite and rode 20 miles into the town of Boonville, which has a casino that we had seen advertise a buffet. What better way to spend our morning. I think I ate more than I ever have. On the way to Boonville we passed about 400 other cyclists, who had ridden from Colombia for this event called "Peddlars Jam." It was cool to see so many riders using the trail, although it would have been even cooler if they knew how to ride on the appropriate side.
When we got into Sedalia at night, we weren't sure where to eat, so I asked a woman who was staying at the same campground (the Missouri State Fairgrounds). She thought it was a few miles to get to anywhere, and very generously offered us some of their food (they were staying in a RV). So we went into the RV & Karen made us sandwiches and gave us chips & homemade cookies while we chatted with her and her husband, and their 2 daughters. Then, to top things off, she sent us off with 3 large heaping bags- 1 with waters and gatorade, another with cookies & crackers, and yet another with pastries for breakfast the next day! They were the nicest family & we felt lucky to have crossed paths.
