Wandering Aimlessly in the Deep Water..

Tuesday we had lunch in Polo, Missouri....   The restaurant is in the middle of the town and is called the Red Rooster...

Its kind of a nondescript building with white siding...   But we filled the place as usual...

I happened to be front and center in this picture, but it shows the inside of the cafe fairly well too.

From there we went off on a ride across most of Northwestern Missouri....  This was fine until we tried to cross the Platte River somewhere South of Ridgely on a county road with only a letter for a name...   With all the rain, the river was about 10 feet above its intended banks...  There was water as far as we could see and the road just disappeared into it..

We turned around and after riding back North to Edgerton we then went West to Dearborn..   Having had enough of the small roads, we got on I 29 and high tailed it back to KC...

The map says we only went 191 miles, but after wandering aimlessly all over West of Camden Point in the country, I had 227 miles on my trip odometer...
