On every RV trip a bit of rain must fall, and today was our day, maybe not the last. We drove perhaps125 of our 400 plus miles today in the rain. Fortunately it wasn't a driving (no pun intended), forceful rain, just aggravating. It didn't really slow us down much, but increased the stress. After I posted yesterday, we did a walkabout (as the Aussies would say) of our campground and came across the carving you see below. It has a cow, pig, rooster and duck seen from different angles all around. Most skillfully carved!
We were on the road at 7:22 AM again today, not really by any intentional effort. Again there was lots of construction, but nothing which halted our progress, just slowed us down a bit. We are truly out "west" now as we crossed the Mighty Mississippi in St Louis, getting good glimpses of the St Louis arch, and the Missouri River which Ann was able to photograph. The last time we came through here in 2008, the Missouri was in flood.
Our campground tonight is in Topeka and has very level cement pads, but no trees. There are trees buffering I70 noise on the perimeter, but the campground is really rather sterile. We put the awning out to dry it out after the rain. We are not even going to unhook, so it will take very little time to get on the road in the AM. We are heading to Great Bend and some birding tomorrow afternoon and Thursday.
