“Usually after a few days of cycling in a state, we'd get an overall sense of the place. But in Missouri we said, 'Huh?' right up to the border.”

Katherine Nelson, 19, Connecticut, talking about her 88-day cross-country bicycle trip with Elizabeth Davis, 21. They received nearly daily invitations for places to stay from strangers. In Missouri a person gave them $40; later that day a woman bought them a $100 room for the night.
