I'm too late to enjoy the Ludlow Café today, but I'll stop in for one of their well-known breakfasts tomorrow. I walk over to the Dairy Queen, the only other restaurant at this truck-stop village, for a hamburger and fries (not my usual kind of food).

I fall asleep easily tonight after watching some TV. Highway bicycle touring was nice today, but I'm looking forward to camping tomorrow, away from electricity and well-traveled roads.
