Day 4: 9/16/23: Hillman Ferry Campground to Marion KY

I got another early start today so I could make it to Eddyville KY for breakfast.  I was considering turning south in Eddyville and stay with a Warm Showers host near Dover, TN.  However, I relaxed a little too long in Eddyville and time got away from me.  Since I left there later than expected, I decided to continue north to Marion which was about 40 miles closer to me than Dover.  I've also ridden this route numerous times on trips to and from Kansas and the roads and scenery are really nice.  

For about the 4th time, I'm staying at the bicycle hostel at the Marion United Methodist Church.  They have continued this cyclist ministry since 1976, when a group of cyclists rode across the U.S. and it was called Bikecentennial '76. 

Below are some pics relating to the cyclist ministry at the church.

Total miles today: 45.4
Total Ascent: 2087 feet
