Outside of Fort Scott, MO to night at Crawford State Park. Fees are a bit high but a beautiful campground on a lake. Lots of birds, redbuds blooming and hardly any people. Other than the camp host we are the only people in this section of the campground.  Very quit.

Drove something over 300 miles today. Had intended to be farther east but we had a long detour to make and by the time we got here I was ready to get off the road. The only thing of note today was there were a lot fires where fields were being burned off. Gets rid of the dead grasses that weren't eaten during the winter and allows new grasses to grow.

You know, you can drive across most of these states without going on an interstate and still make decent time. Little towns that you have to slow down in, but that breaks up the monotony.

Hope to be in St. Louis tomorrow night.
