‘Ride To Francis’: update

Hermann, Mo., on a not-rainy day

Email from Dave at 1:53 p.m. today:

Hey! I'm holed up in Hermann, Mo. ;-) Ran into wicked rain between Route 50 and here and colder temps. I'm warming up in a bar where they serve 3/4 inch slices of deep fried pork loin on wonderbread ;-). Makes an order of fries seem like the healthy choice ;-). Heard from one of the locals that Route 94 is definitely a must-see...... Be sure to let me know if you find any sun...;-)

Sunny and warm here, Dave. We hope to see you soon!

Last word was that he's back on the road and heading for Colombia, Mo.
