Our mileage today was 38. We spent quite a few hours on dirt and gravel roads as we were trying to take a little shorter route.

The highlight of my day was pigging out on "blackberries" from a large tree. These berries looked just like blackberries but were on a tree--not a bush. Maybe somebody knows what kind of berries they are, and you could let me know in a post.

Along the road we met some nice farmers and spent some time talking to them.

Brandon and I went through Ida Grove and saw several castles and a large factory. While there we stopped at a hardware store to get hose clamps to fix the tubes that our handlebars slip into. The tubes had cracked, and the clamps are all we needed to fix them.

Even though this is the 4th of July, we are nowhere near any fireworks. Tonight we are camping out in the backyard of the Monk family. Their home is in the country several miles south of Moville, Iowa.

We need to get up early tomorrow so we will call it a night.
