After crossing the mississippi on a ferry, and the missouri by narrow and lenthy bridge, I thought all the exciting water crossings were behind me. I was mistaken. On my way from Lulu's backyard in Saint Genevieve, still full from the dinner she took me to, heading toward Saint Louis, I encounter a detour that guides traffic onto the interstate where bikes aren't allowed, so, I ignore it. After crossing an, "out" bridge with no more effort than avoiding some traffic cones, I figure I'm scott free. Unfortunately, many miles later, there actually is a bridge... out, as in not IN existence. But no worries, Gene the roadside worker and avid bicyclist, on his last day before retirement, is there to help. Together we roll the bike into and out of the ravine. He sends me on my way in no time with heavy pockets for a real meal. Thanks Gene! At dinner, I somehow manage to win a 40buck tab so
Gene's gift becomes a nice tip.
