Departing Missouri
Goodbye Table Rock Park and Branson. We had a blast and hope to come back sometime. We could have easily stayed there a week there is so much to see and do in the area. So after our morning campfire coffee, we regretfully starting to pack up and pop down. It takes much longer to pop down that it does to pop up because you have to clean up, gather dirty clothing, roll up sleeping bags, empty out the camper refrigerator, and clean and sweep the interior, etc.. So it was 12:15pm before we pulled out of the campsite.
Borrowing a quote from Robert Frost, we have "many miles to go before we sleep".
476 miles, to be exact.
Ugh.
The way we planned our road trip, we knew this would be our longest leg of the journey.
I don't think I've ever crossed over so many state lines in one day! We motored on through eastern Missouri, got to pass by downtown St. Louis and see the iconic Gateway Arch, on through a portion of Illinois, and then stopping for dinner at the famed Red Wagon Inn in Poseyville, Indiana. Just kidding about it being famous. It was just some random place we saw off I-64 and it was dinnertime and we were hungry. It's so interesting how the geography of the land varies from state to state. Our jaunt today was straight through the middle of America's heartland-very flat farmlands for as far as the eye could see. Huge grain silos and John Deere Tractors everywhere.
And now as the sun has set, we have just crossed over the state line into Kentucky.
Getting close to our next destination!
