October 29, 2006

The weather has finally broken. It looks like it will be a beautiful day. We load up the RV and head southwest around 11am. This trip we are caravanning with two vehicles, the RV and our car. Driving across country is not as much fun without my trusty navigator alongside me. Aimee is equally disappointed that she can’t give me her periodic helpful driving advice. To maintain some contact with each other we bought a pair of two-way radios a few days ago. Aided by an extra hour with the Daylight Savings time change, we drive more than four hours to Springfield, MO.

Southern Missouri is a scenic, hilly, forested region, especially in the fall when the trees have all turned vivid colors of red and gold. We stay at a nice KOA we later find is near train tracks. Aimee feels like she is back home in Itasca as trains roll by almost every half hour tooting their horns.
