		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often wished I had a guide to public drinking water fountains along my routes, so I can know where I can fill up my water bottles for free.  Such places are fairly rare these days. It might be a surprise to the younger generations to learn that water doesn&#8217;t come from plastic bottles and <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/08/01/water-stop-in-centreville/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Ketcham&#8217;s gravestone is the big one on the left.  His wife, Sarah, outlived him but got a smaller gravestone &#8212; the one to the right of Isaac&#8217;s. BTW, up until now I have been spelling the name as Ketchum rather than Ketcham.    I&#8217;ve seen it spelled Ketchum in several places, <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/01/25/sarah-sutphen-ketcham/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On August 16, 2009 I started at Coldwater, stopped at several places east of town, and then headed west to Leonidas, where Ambrose Nichols had lived. Ambrose was the brother of the Warren Nichols who died in the 1832 cholera epidemic, along with his wife and three of his children.
