Day 44 - Clinton to Eldorado Springs

6/16/2016

2 Comments

 

50 miles / 1961 total

There was a heat warning put for today, so considering how hot it's been up to now, we knew it could be pretty bad. So with that in mind, we were all up at 5 and on the road at 6.30am. We'd finished the 50 miles 12 in relatively cool weather. I think we hit the end of the Ozarks as the last part of the rode was pretty hilly! Def glad we missed those out!
​Wouldn't recommend anyone visiting Eldorado Springs! There's no camping and the only hotel in town is expensive and not great. The water smells really sulphurous too. Not sure if that's just the town water or the water in this hotel. I couldn't even bring myself to put my head under the shower the smell is that strong, yuck!
​Should be back on the official route tomorrow or next day, depending on which way we decide to go.

You would think that a place called Eldorado Springs would be well - Eldorado and with nothing but cool spring water!

Is there fracking in the area by any chance?

I see that you have indeed strayed well off the line on the map so better get back on track and avoid places with such wonderful sounding names.

Still you are doing rather well Cheryl, but get those brakes fixed very soon as its all downhill from now.

Take Care
Dad

Good to catch up with your narrative today, Cheryl. It's a smile to see you rolling along.
