Day 42 Return to Energy Lake

It’s been 6 weeks since we left home on our “land loop” adventure.  Our last night of camping is where we started in Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky. Traveled through Missouri earlier today. The rolling Ozarks with thick forests eventually gave way to flat plains again. Highway was lined with fields of corn, alfalfa and rice. Eventually we crossed the Mississippi River on a very narrow, long steel structure. Two bridges took us from Missouri to Illinois and then to Kentucky in a matter of minutes. Illinois kept true to its reputation of having the worst roads even if it was only for a moment. Huge barges lay below waiting to hook up and transport down the mighty, muddy Mississippi. Energy Lake in Land Between the Lakes remains one of our favorite campgrounds with its serene, isolated, natural sites right on the damned up lake. Celebrated our last night with a camp fire.
