Day 4 - Oak Grove, Missouri

What a surprise this morning when we woke up, there was sunshine. It was so great to see it again. Mind you it was only 4 degrees but by the time we left it had warmed up to 8 degrees.

Since there was no rain, no wind, I took over the driving for the first time. Really nice road, rolling, really enjoyed it. The driving is not the problem, it's being surrounded by trucks, lots of big trucks. I was lucky as I had very few and they stayed behind me. Ross had fun playing with the GPS. It gave him a good break.

We bypassed St-Louis entering Missouri and driving over the Mississippi River. We then crossed the Missouri River further on. Beautiful rolling roads stretching straight ahead. I was looking at the map and found counties named Ste. Genevieve, St-François, which is pretty neat. Drove thru the city of Columbia and drove by exits for Emma, Concordia, to name a couple of interesting names.

We decided to stop at the present KOA around 4 pm and keep the busier downtown driving thru the city of Kansas for tomorrow morning. It has rained since we parked but we hope for another sunny day tomorrow. Oh yes, parked across from us is a Roadtrek-size motorhome, the first one since we left home. We have been surrounded by these huge motorhomes, well better them than us. The end of the day has come.
