COLUMBIA, MISSOURI

Here we are in humid Missouri – I asked the lady at check-in if it was always this humid and she said “darlin’ this ain’t nothin’, in a month or so the humidity will be 90% so we are enjoyin’ this while it lasts”.

We left Wichita, KS shortly after 7:00 this morning and pulled into our site here in Cottonwood RV Park in Columbia, MO about 2:30 this afternoon.  It was a nice drive of 350 miles with several stops for fuel.  Whenever we stop we walk around the building a couple of times to stretch a little.  The countryside is hilly and lush with ground foliage and trees along with meandering rivers, streams and numerous lakes.  Gas in many places is $1.99 per gallon which is great for the budget.  Got settled in and was doing my usual walk around inspection of the truck and RV when I noticed the cable from the truck to the breakaway switch on the RV had been dragging on the ground and was broken.  I called a local RV repair shop and they were out in 30 minutes to replace it.  I will pay more attention to it in the future.   PRC

It’s pretty and peaceful at this RV Park. What I noticed in Missouri was lots of green, creeks and lakes and sporting goods stores.  It is a bit humid.

The last three RV parks have had storm shelters including this one. So if there is severe storm including a tornado we will be hunkering down in the bathrooms.

It’s a quiet evening as usual. There’s not much time or opportunity to do much as we are tired and don’t unhook the truck from the trailer since we’re just staying overnight.
I am so looking forward to getting to Canada where we will spend at least a week at each RV Park.

Signing off for now. We’ll be in Indianapolis tomorrow.  JY
