Houston, MO to Fair Grove, MO, about 79 miles. Had an early start from Houston this morning. A cat came to my campsite this morning looking very thin. It was very friendly, but I wish I had some food for it. I got a thumbs up and some honks in support early after leaving Houston. Stopped in Hartville for lunch at a grocery store. After I left, I saw a touring bike outside of a Subway. Stopped in to meet Jean-Paul, a cyclist from France who had taken route 66 from LA. Continued on to Marshfield, where I decided to stop at Subway for dinner. It started storming hard while I was there, so I stayed put for a few hours. As soon as the rain let up, I continued on to Fair Grove. I stopped in a gas station across from the campsite, and someone gave me a BodyArmor sports drink, saying it's better than Gatorade. My back tire again somehow went flat while I was in the gas station. While fixing it, someone in a pickup truck asked if I needed a ride somewhere. I declined and kept on patching. Later on, someone named JD came by and started talking to me and offered to buy me an ice cream cone. Overall, even with bad luck with flats, I've found awesome people who help make things a little better.
