The smell of good coffee woke us early at the Lindenhoff B&B this morning. Our hosts prepared a fantastic breakfast melon with mint, agave juice and lime, followed up w/ strawberry and blueberry topped french toast filled w/ cream cheese and jam, and a baked egg dish that had cream and havarti cheese. Im always interested to learn how the hosts got into the b&b life and a downward economy and that feeling of working for oneself was their motivation. One from our group ended up at the hospital this am working through kidney stones and was released by early afternoon. We were on the trail by 830 and thought we might get wet this am with the forecast looking rather ominous. We rode about 7 mi to Defiance and the bike store was open for me to grab two tubes, just for that peace of mind. We passed a few more planted fields and crossed some small streams as in days passed. There was a large limestone bluff that looked like an amphitheatre that was interesting. Rae has a tradition of getting her pic beside the mileage marker of her age, so a stop was in order. The one big difference as we wrapped up the last few miles were the amount of subdivisions and people on the trail. We knew we had reached St Charles when Frontier Park was ahead of us. What a great trip this has been with great weather and company along the way.
