I tried reaching my cousin Paul G. in KY but the phone number must have changed. So I called Casey and Liz in TN and with their permission :) will head that way.
I woke to a heavy fog and the tent covered with water of course. so much for my hopes that the tent would dry out overnight. I ran at a reduced speed for about 20 miles. I then turned South on KS-7. I started running into trees covered with spider webs, wow!
After awhile I pulled into Atchison KS. Wow, home of the Atchison, Topeaka and Santa Fe railroad and Amelia Earhart. The museum let me in an hour early at the depoet museum which was much appreciated and the chamber of commerce sent me to a good local spot for breakfast. Then since I was stopped it was time for a laundry day again.
I then changed my GPS to try and stay off interstates. And off I went following Garmitas instructions. At first it was great and I went on some very scenic roads. But then it routed me around Kansas City and headed by interstate towards ST Louis. At ST Louis it took about 7 diff hwys to bypass it and get me going South on the US hwys 61/62 again. I hadn't taken any pictures because there wasn't anything that said shoot me..ahh who knows. I ended the day at the St Francois State Park which is a very nice place to camp, nice showers and grass. But nothing to drink or eat. But I met Lori and John who shared a couple of their Pepsis with me around the fire as I stayed up until after dark talking. Thanks guys!
I knew i was back in the South because the roads were scenic, their are rows of trees lining both sides so that you don't see anything. And rolls of paper towels are on the tables instead of napkins.
