Made it to Missouri and we haven't left anyone behind, yet!

Hello fellow travelers!

If that isn't a happy couple, I don't know what is!!!

A little art for the trip.

We need to add a few peace signs and flowers!

Each day just keeps getting better!  After our powwow last night, we woke up this morning invigorated and ready to head out at 6:05 am.  Only 5 minutes later than our objective.  And we made it 105 miles before we stopped for the first time and that was to turn on the generator.  It was so cool this morning that we rode with the windows down and the curtains flapping out the windows.  Sorry Tracey, a few of them got a little wrinkled.  We averaged 50.1 mph and even made it to 61 mph going downhill with a  strong tailwind at one point!  Total miles today was 440.  Tomorrow will be our longest day at about 500 miles.  Raleigh and I might take the wheel of the bus since is will be Kansas and it will be really flat and straight!

Some pictures of the destruction at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.

For those of you who knowTim,he has been sporting neon orange wicking t-shirts lately.  Since I didn't have time to tie dye shirts for the trip, Raleigh suggested we all wear shirts to match Tim.  We won't be getting lost anytime soon, that's for sure.  

Getting some rest in Missouri in our matching shirts

Tim driving the land yacht paddle boat

William didn't want to wear the orange
shirt anymore...ewwww.  Put it
back on, Will!

Checking fluids again...

By leaving early, we were able to travel in cooler weather and get to our campground by 4:30  We would have gotten there sooner but there was a little glitch with the GPS and when we arrived at our destination, we were in a  neighborhood.  Oops...Checked the address again and finally made it.

We had enough daylight left to reorganize everything which will make tomorrow an even better day!

Things we took out of the van to
rearrange and put back in the van.

How will we get it all back in?

A little messy at the end of the day.

William is land surfing, keeping us entertained.

Raleigh has the best seat in the park chilllaxing with Lon

Setting up for dinner.  Lon is happy to have his fan
and some wifi.

We had a great meal of meatloaf made from Carolyn's cookbook.  I froze it in vacuum sealed bags and just boiled them to heat it up.  Add some instant potatoes, a can of corn and some salad and we were ready to eat in 15 minutes.  Lon said the meatloaf was close to his mother's home cooking.

Raleigh and Will dressed alike.  I am so sorry I didn't get the shot
of their matching cut off shorts to go with the shirts.

Christy, this is where we are parked tonight

The generator is just plugging along,
keeping us cool

It is almost time for our nightly powwow
 and then the party lights are going out.

Everyone else is asleep so I am going to head back inside, too.  Oh, we don't have room for William in the bus so he is sleeping under it!  He slept in his hammock last night but there are no trees close enough together to string it up tonight...and it is supposed to rain/storm later.  He's used to roughing it so I'm not worried.  More tomorrow..1
