Day 5 - Monday 6/22/26 - MO to NE

Today we drove 283 miles from Smith Fork Campground north of Kansas City MO, (luckily didn't take the turn to Oregon ha-ha)

into Iowa for a bit,

and then Nebraska (and inadvertently THROUGH Omaha at rush hour too - it was bad!),

and arrived at our camp spot for tonight at Maskenthine Lake Recreation Area near Stanton NE.

We have never seen so many cornfields during a journey!  The weather was beautiful all day, and our campground, and the whole surrounding area, is unbelievable!  So beautiful, and birds singing everywhere.  Tomorrow we're going to have a slow morning and enjoy this cool weather and place before moving on to the next one.

A quick 15 minute stroll around the campground when we arrived indicated we heard these birds.  This will be an amazing place for birding!  The Orchard Oriole was our favorite!

Favorite city/town name today:  Tracy, MO

Today's homemade gourmet freeze-dried meal was chicken risotto with spinach and mushrooms.  Very Yummy!  Sorry, forgot to get a picture...

Our route for the day:

Our Felines

Yes, we have two (2) felines in tow headed to the many destinations of Canada & Alaska (this one is Callie).  They are having fun so far!

Days 2/3 - Friday and Saturday 6/19-20/26 - Missouri

Drove about 350 miles yesterday to Laura Ingalls Wilder RV Park in Mansfield, MO.  Staying here for two nights to regroup and organize a little bit.  The kitties needed a break too.  Cleo is napping here.

The Ozarks are beautiful!  We're eating some of our freeze-dried foods we spent the last year preparing... vegetable beef soup Friday after a long drive, Joyce's beef bbq for Saturday lunch, and meat loaf, mashed potatoes and green beans for Saturday dinner!

Our journey today:
