This petrol station in Ash Grove has under its canopy, on opposite sides of the shop entrance, two benches which look like they've been blasted out of a huge piece of stone. The other one is labeled 'Democrats'. I didn't know which I was but luckily nobody tried to engage me in a political discussion while I was there.

Yes, that is my lunch and yes, that is a cup of green ice. It's another hot and humid day. Much to my dismay, the hills haven't eased off. I actually think they've got worse. I've had to walk up quite a few of them. I really don't believe they coninue all the way to the Kansas border and hope that's not just blind optimism. If they do, I'm not at all sure I will be able to complete today's 115 miles.
