Iola, KS to Mountain View, MO
This morning Ted and I got and early start and rode the 38 miles over to Fort Scott National Historic Site, arriving before they opened. That gave us just enough time to gas up and be ready when the doors opened.
From Fort Scott we crossed into Missouri at Nevada and headed south, through Joplin and on to The George Washington Carver National Monument.
Pea Ridge National Military Park is located near Bentonville, Arkansas and provided our next stamp.
On the way back up to Springfield, MO we stopped at Wilson Creek National Battlefield.
We ended our day in Mountain View, MO after riding 400+ miles in the heat. We considered riding on into Paducah but, after taking stock of how tired we were, decided to ride the last part tomorrow morning.
