Jefferson City, MO & Litchfield, IL

This was our overnight site in the capitol of MO.  This was the second site we selected.  After several tries backing into a blind back-in, uphill & on a curve I gave up and selected an easier site to get into.

From the trees in MO to the corn field in IL.  We have been to this campground 3 or 4 times in the past.

After we set up camp in 95 degrees temps and then cooled off we went into Litchfield and had supper at Denny's, got some diesel and groceries.  This colorful locomotive was on display next to Denny's.

FIRE!!!  On the way back to the campground we saw this car on fire on the side of the expressway as we drove along on the access road.

Chanute, KS

Here we are in Santa Fe Park in Chanute.  We arrived on Saturday, you can see one of the softball fields behind us.  We watched a couple games Monday evening, the lights went out about 10pm but the partying continued on until the beer was gone.

On the way to Chanute Judy was driving and I was able to get a picture of this plane that was strafing us.    Well, it was crop dusting.

Off to Chanute, KS

Yesterday Clayton & Pat left for the UP while Judy and I went south headed for Chanute, KS and some service on our home.  Clayton had the tailwind while we had a headwind.  We stopped for the night in Rock Port, MO at a small and peaceful campground on the cornfields.  There are only 4 of us here including the owners.  We decided to spend a second night here and just R&R today as it's so quiet and we aren't in a hurry to get to Chanute which is only 4 hours away.
  Patches is enjoying her time outside and the cornfields.

We are now South Dakota residents

A few weeks ago we changed our address to SD using a mail forwarding company in Sioux Falls as our new "home".  This was our first step to becoming SD residents.  Today we spent 5 hours at the mail forwarding company filling out paperwork, then a stop at the SD state drivers licensing bureau

for our licenses, then to Minehaha County Administrative Building for SD plates for the truck and HitchHikker, a walk across the hall to register to vote, then to the insurance company to finish getting new coverage for the truck & trailer.

After that we returned to the campground and went out for supper with Clayton & Pat followed by poker....which I lost.  

Sioux Falls, SD

We arrived in Sioux Falls, SD and set up.  A couple hours later Clayton & Pat arrived on their way to Mi from spending time with Scott in CA. 

Adventureland stop to see Debbie

We stopped for the night in Altoona, IA to surprise a HitchHiker friend Debbie Granger who travels with her dog Hunter.  We saw that she was work camping at an amusement park on the forum, guess what....no picture of Debbie!

Off to South Dakota

                              The relaxation and time in Onsted, Mi is coming to an end for awhile.

                               Our first night on the road to South Dakota was at Urbana, IL.
