Keep on rolling through Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Nebraska

Across two states, Indiana and Illinois, we stayed in Mark Twain’s Campground, cave. and Winery. We’ve stayed here before we really like the park, lots of space and very well maintained. Unfortunately, the winery nor the cave were open due to the Covid, so we just relaxed around the camper.

Out of Hannibal, MO, we took Route 36, a four lane, non Interstate highway with very little traffic. Not many big towns either. What flabbergasted me was that we were about 5 miles from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. It’s in the middle of nowhere. Decided not to stop because we didn’t have the time to do it justice. I think they have 13 stores!  Road trip for Linda and me!  

From Route 36, we took I-29 along the Missouri River. When we did this last year, we encountered major flooding. For the most part, things were cleaned up except for some of the fields that were lying fallow and some of the road had closed lanes. 

These fields were all under water last year in March. 

This gas station was closed because of water over the pumps and up to the door of the store. 

Next place we camped is near Lincoln, Nebraska, at the WindCrest Winery. This is our second Harvest Host. Great experience with a very nice welcome. 

Time zone changes going west are really tough or maybe we’re getting old and don’t adjust like we used to!

Left early since we were up. Made it across Nebraska and into eastern Wyoming, near Cheyenne to WYO Campground. 

The sky seems so wide and is usually blue so these clouds took my eye. 

Even though it was warm, there was a nice breeze blowing that kept it comfortable. 

A typical countryside in eastern Wyoming. 

Here’s dinner tonight ... pizza in the cast iron using tortilla shells. 

Guess what this is. 

A grill. If Covid hadn’t hit, we would have been able to have some good BBQ. 

Finally a beautiful sunset. 

Headed to Fort Bridger in western Wyoming tomorrow.
