Awake: 5:40am     Temp 75     sleep 5+54     sunny & hot     overnight @ St. Robert, MO. 

It was a hot night for both of us; we had our windows open & fortunately there was a little breeze. 

We delayed breakfast & left St. Robert @ 7:24am...following I-44 south, a very smooth Interstate. We had (1) stop for fuel: in Joplin, MO. Flying "J". 172 gal @ $3.80 per gal. Our breakfast along the way was eating dry cereal. 

We arrived @ Miami, Oklahoma & the Newell factory @ 11:20am. There were only (2) campsites with water available; after that site is taken, one would have to park with only electricity & that happens a lot. 

Our parking spot was not the best due to having a tree & the limbs blocking our satellite signals. @ 5:00pm, we attended the vigil Mass @ Sacred Heart church about a mile down the road. After Mass, we treated ourselves to a delicious big hamburger with pasta salad & French fries @ the Stonehill Grill on Main Street in town. In fact, we took a doggy bag back with us as it was too much to eat.

 When we returned, another campsite opened up that was in the clear so to speak. We quickly retracted our slides & moved right into that site. 

Evening movie: "Captain Horaitio Hornblower." We watched 1/2. 

Today's travel: 186 miles     3+36 time     30 gal used     6.2 mpg     52 mph avg speed. 

Lights out: 12:10am.
