Day 21: Ozarks MTB & a ride in a boat (21 Aug 14)

Out early to beat the "record breaking heat wave" and sample some Ozarks trails. It was still hotter than hell, even at 0730, and with the humidity, we were, again, soaked before we even left the parking lot. We are not going to fare so well back in DC... ugh.

Ride was a lot of fun. Swoopy single-track, a lite bit of up, and a whole lotta down. Not too many spiders, but we did have to "brake for turtles" and turkeys and squirrels.

In the afternoon, we rented a pontoon boat here at the Lake camp and tooled around on the Lake for a few hours. Pups were so funny - these desert dogs have never been on a boat and had no idea why the ground under them kept moving.  Once they realized how good the breeze felt, they both had their heads hanging over the railing. We finally got them off and into the water with us.  Just. Like yesterday, Sunday was a swimmin fool, and Finn was terrified. Once we got them back in the boat, they both passed out in the sun.  Good day to be a Norvell dog!

Tomorrow off to St. Louis, where Doug already has his first White Castle mapped out.
