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.
