46 miles into Little Grassy Lake Campground and Marina, Makanda, Illinois
Another day of wet, dreary, bicycling. According to one gentleman at the campground, it has rained 29 days in a row. The highlight of the day was lunch at Delaney’s on Broadway Restaurant in Goreville, Illinois. The owner of the restaurant talked our ears off about his business and how much they love meeting bicyclists from all over the world. Every cyclist gets free dessert and their picture taken. He lamented the fact that Polaroid went out of business so he can’t display the photos instantly, but has to wait until he develops a full roll of film. I had honest-to-goodness homemade vegetable beef soup. It was warm and fulfilling.
We have no service at the campground and the ranger told us numerous roads are closed. Therefore, we will probably have to take tomorrow off and ride into town (Vincent thinks there is a Starbucks there) to research our route.
