What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

Daniel and I had bison burgers for lunch here in St Louis.

(You can't wash your hands in a buffalo!)

Engerlaaand!

We found heaven on earth with just 40 minutes to go to the game! 

Underneath the arch(es)

We found our way to St Louis ... right on the Mississippi under the famous arch!

Pushing on at sunset

I spoke to race control who informed me that we are one of three teams Fred Boethling and the race officials have given a five (5) hour extension beyond 3PM Wednesday 6/18 to arrive at TS 35 (Mississippi River)  ... excellent!

The river is 2051 miles from the start and a little while ago Chris was at 1776. He needs to go 275 miles in 25.5 hours. 10.8 mph (without sleep ;-)

In an English country hedgerow

The countryside here in Missouri reminds me very much of England. Everything is beautifully green!

Away away!

On the way to dropping off Matt at the airport (running around 100 miles ahead of Chris) we came upon the Missouri River! Oh Shenandoah ...

Pip-pip

Here's Pippa Middleton an friends looking very smart bad happy before the team start noon Saturday!

They're currently fifth of the 8-person relay teams, I believe, and are heading our way fast ... Tractalis says they are about 500 miles in and crossing Arizona!
