Kansas here we come

Tuesday had a good middle but the start and end was questionable.  A series of issues delayed our start from 8am to 9am. Four hundred mile later we reached our overnight park in Mulberry Grove (east of St. Louis). Timber Trails is a nice quiet park in a wooded area next to several ponds and a bean field.  The bad part of the day was a stone hit to the co-pilot window. (Sure I want to drive the Alcan, I cann't even survive Illinois roads!) It shattered the outer glass like a bullet but the film and inner glass look like they might hold till we get home.  State Farm says they will repair but if we do it may take a week of downtime as the whole double window needs to come out.

Wednesday we progressed another 400 mile reaching Emporia Kansas. Highlights were the traffic in St. Louis and Kansas City.  The Mississippi and Missouri Rivers are still flowing. Just glad we are north of the 14" of rain that hit north of New Orleans last night. Now we can start to slow down a little since we put the east behind us for now.
