I have to say, my husband could have been a cross-country trucker. Despite having a willing relief driver, he has done all the driving himself this trip, with 400+ miles per day.
We spent our second night in Ogden, Utah, at the Century RV, which I would heartily recommend. Despite being right in town, and barely off the interstate, it was quiet, and park-like.
We went to Mass at Hill AFB--although it was held in the Club--apparently the chapel is under renovation. David and I had a bit of a chuckle at the Alleluia--15 years ago, we sang in the Hill AFB chapel choir, and we sang the exact same Alleluia. None of the singers or musicians were the same, but the music remains!
Sunday night saw us in Cheyenne, Wyoming at AB Camping, another nice site. Then it was off to Rock Port, Missouri--yes we were covering some distance! This was a KOA under renovation, and someone decided it would be a good idea to drive heavy equipment half the night. We aren't sure if it was the KOA personnel (who were moving dirt earlier in the evening) or a neighbor, but the sudden lack of sound at 2:30 am sure woke us up. That had to have been the worst night since our try at Wal-Mart camping a few years ago!
On Tuesday we drove to Okawville, Illinois, where we missed our host, Glenn, by literally five minutes. We spent two nights in the park next to the Beach house, and enjoyed Ruth's company, but Glenn had to attend training in Louisville. We also went to the St Louis City Museum which is AWESOME!!! Here's a link to their web site, and a few shots.
Yes, that is Bridget climbing in those tubes. And both David and I climbed most of the tubes and slid down most of the slides (including the 10-story slide!) too! If you're ever in St Louis, no matter what your age, you have GOT to go!
