Edward climbed a tree to get a look around. No, that isn't the Muddy Missouri River in the background. It is just a pond at the campground where we are staying for the night.

The trip across Missouri wasn't too bad. It was a long day and there was some traffic at St. Louis and more at Kansas City, but everything went smoothly and this evening Edward and Susan and Ted are taking a break at the campground before heading up the Interstate to Sioux Falls tomorrow. One funny thing that happened today is that when the camper hit a bump, a big water bottle came rolling across the floor. It was empty, but it was one of those great big ones that holds 5 gallons, so it made a thumping sound as it rolled under the table. There it stayed until Ted pulled out the slide and set up the table. It gave him a laugh to see how it had traveled from the bunk room to the back of the camper. No damage was caused.

Tomorrow should be a shorter day and Edward is looking forward to getting to Rapid City on Friday. There are a lot of friends to see in Rapid City. Edward lived there for most of his life, even before Ted and Susan bought the camper and so it seems like coming home to him to visit there. The camper is going to be parked for four nights in Rapid City, so that will be a pleasant break from the driving of the past few days.
