Travel update
Heed my advice oh travelers and leave technology at home. Far less stress. We have found WiFi finally so will see how it works.
Illinois: Corn and soybeans. Great state parks. There is no separate admission fee to campgrounds and rates are reasonable. And both fantastic historic sites we visited were FREE with donation if you chose.
Missouri: Corn and soybeans. We have great hopes for this state but not off to good start. Came across the border and into Hannibal which is such a sad place. We toured the Mark Twain childhood home and etc. and some attempt has been made to "shop up" this part of the historic waterfront town. But it's not Stillwater and the rest of the town has gorgeous old buildings just fallen into complete ruin. Today we are off to Oktoberfest and then hope to find some place to stop and do some hiking or biking.
Weather has changed from the hot horrid humid weather of the two I's . Yesterday was a rainy day and today is cloudy and cool. It was so funny that weather forecast was always rain day after tomorrow followed by cooling. Day after tomorrow finally came. Warm up again in a few days but forecast says milder 70's.
I have a ton of photos on my camera to download and if it works out I will post a few soon.
