and there is a street crossing right outside of camp. The trains blast their horns as they go through the intersection and the collective opinion was that there were 7 trains that went by the camp throughout the night. Sleep was in short supply this morning and probably will be again tonight. It made for a lively and humorous discussion at breakfast this morning!! Even with the lack of sleep, it’s nice to have the day off before we hit the road again tomorrow. We are almost through Missouri as we inch our way across. We will be staying in Carthage, Mo tomorrow night ( a 70 mile day) and then we will hit a corner of Kansas and be in Oklahoma! I’m sure Oklahoma will bring its own challenges but it will be flatter than Missouri. The weather is predicted to be cooler which will be a nice change. We are expecting rain tonight but hoping the showers may bypass us. We are two weeks in to this trip – 25% – so have a little less than 6 weeks to go. Hopefully more from the road tomorrow night. Zippy and I are doing fine so far!
