Day # 60 - Oak Grove, MO

The campground we stayed at last night has a daily all you can eat pancake breakfast. It was faster than what we could make (and I didn’t have to make a mess in the camper), and cheaper and much tastier than McDonalds. Actually, it was very good. The owner’s wife was the cook. She also made a pretty good batch of biscuits and gravy. With our tummies full, we loaded up and headed out. We have a very long day ahead of us driving through nothing but cow pastures and corn fields. Too bad you can’t fly over Kansas with your camper in tow! We were doing our best to keep moving so we could actually get out of Kansas today. How depressing would it be to wake up in Kansas, drive all day and have to go to sleep in Kansas! We made it across the Missouri border and stayed in Oak Grove, just outside of Kansas City. We stayed in – you guessed it a KOA Kampground. This one actually sold us some propane and gave us a sight close to the wi-fi tower so we could actually use the service – go figure! The kids played at the playground 3 sights away while Tony and I got set up. We threw burgers and dogs on the grill and had a quick dinner before getting ready for bed. We want to try to get a reasonable start tomorrow to see how far we can get. We will probably have to stop one more night, but we’ll see how it goes.
