'CROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI


We liked the American Creek RV Park so much we stayed an extra day.  We camped on the shore of the Missouri River near Chamberlain, SD.   The river was beautiful with a high bluff across from us to the west which made for terrific sunsets.  We were in a grove of old trees with a fire ring, so Dave was literally a happy camper!! We used the extra day for maintenance and laundry and general R&R. (you know this camping thing is just so stressful, every now and then we have to stop!! LOL)  These pictures don't need captions!!.....




In that vane, we have a challenge for you engineers out there…. Lol… as you drive across the country much of the concrete tends to “sing” as you go over it…. Wouldn’t it be fun if the groves and joints of the concrete were “programmed” so that it sang a specific tune if you went right at the speed limit.  We had  Springstein's “Borrrrrrn in the USA” in mind…. Yep we’ve been on the road too long!! LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!  We Skyped and the girls and I sang Happy Birthday together!  We pushed on to  Emerson Bay State Park on the Okoboji Lake in Iowa.  We went to Arnold Park on the lake and rode a wooden roller coaster built in 1927!!  It was a real bone shaker, but Deb rode it twice!!!  We have many great memories of Emily growing up, one being her standing on tip toes to be tall enough to ride Thunder Road at Carowinds and outlasting her daddy holding her hands up!!   
Happy Birthday BABY!!
 
We are now less than 1000 miles from home!!
