Day 85: Jeff City

The Walking Fool got up after another wet, rainy night in the tent. The fool is still a fool when trying to erect his tent in the proper way to repel rain penetration. He walked another 6-7 miles to the N Jefferson trailhead where he called local hotels in Jefferson City to see which one suited him best (i.e., whichever was the cheapest). Unfortunately, all of the hotels were in the southernmost section of the city which added 4-5 out-of-the-way miles to the Fool's travels. He took a spur trail to the highway that went over the Missouri River and into the capital city... finally settling for a Motel 6 which offered Kmart quality comforters, cable TV with an annoying high pitch hum and a lovely 39-bucks-a-night fee.
