Stayed put today and got some new shoes!

We're staying with Mike and Janice again Loxterkamp tonight.  An Amish ferrier put new shoes on Rufus and Rowdy late today.  He was like magic with the mules.  Rufus and Rowdy stood like troopers as they got their new shoes.

The Loxterkamps treated us like royalty today.  They gave us a tour of their turkey buildings.  They are expecting 30,000 turkeys tomorrow.  They raise about a million turkeys a year, along with their family members.  The rest of the day was low key.  We wanted to show our appreciation for their hospitality so we spent some time raking the yard and picking up the road ditch near their house.

We received more donations today.

Good night from the trail.

Joe and Earl
