Happily left the AOK Campground that sat about a 100 yards from interstate traffic and pointed the truck to the other side of Missouri. Not a lot to say about the Show Me state. It is known for ragtime, jazz, barbecue and the birthplace of Anheuser-Busch beer. It was blazing hot in the 24th state today so couldn’t enjoy their state food, ice cream, because it would have melted before you could bring it to your lips. The only interesting thing that happened today was when we stopped for lunch at Taco Bell and there was nowhere to park our camper; we discovered you cannot take a truck towing a trailer through the drive-thru. The turns are a little too tight. John adeptly got us out of that jam by jumping a few curbs and all ended well after a few anxious moments. The heat at our campground, which is perfectly manicured but devoid of trees or any shade, persisted till after nightfall so we didn’t get to see much of the lake, trails or park amenities. Tomorrow we head to our last campsite of this trip, Energy Lake, Kentucky.
