We've been taking it easy, trying not to drive more than 200 miles in one day - there's not much to look at along our route. Tuesday and Wednesday nights we stayed at a nice Elks Lodge in Blue Springs, Missouri and tonight we're at a sweet little leafy campground in Danville, Missouri.
We stayed here in the fall, on our way west. The sites are nice and level, the proprietors are friendly and very helpful, there are enough trees around to give the illusion of being in a cool forest and it's not far off the interstate.
We'll hole up in tiny Casey, Illinois for the busy holiday weekend then continue on through Ohio and Pennsylvania to the lake. We expect to pull in on Wednesday.
Will you have time to stop in Casey? Home of the 'Largest *' was going to put the world's largest golf ball atop the worlds largest golf tee. Looked like a fun photo-op :) Continued safe travels.
ReplyDeleteGreat plan. Avoid the holiday craziness! Now we will just hope that no little girls on bikes show up to wreck Lewis 's weekend plans!
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is quite warm ! It always amazes me how we just roll across the country and can stay in a new place/state from day to day. Continued safe travels...hugs to Lew !
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the warmer temperatures as much as I mind the terrible humidity as we move east. You are really moving in to it!! Glad your travels have been calm so far. Hope you can make your last stretch after the holiday without hitting any of the bad weather:)
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine humidity with those temps :-(. Nice to find some shade and breezes! I realized we're not coming back that far south in September, we'll come through Iowa and Nebraska to get to Wyoming (I'm not very good on my middle America geography!
ReplyDeleteOur weather has gone from weeks and weeks of glorious spring to intense summer just as we hit South Dakota. We're holed up at a KOA in Sioux Falls riding out the Memorial Day weekend....not our first choice but we bailed on the state park we had reserved because it didn't have hookups. We did a 20-mile bike ride early this morning and now we're just staying inside with the A/C running full blast! 91 outside and rising...ugh! Stay cool in those triple digit temps! oxoxo
