At the Arboretum at Bernheim gardens.  Trolls are on our list today. It is a chilly morning, and at 7am, we are not the first to roll into the park. Last night we camped at a rest stop and visitor center.  Worked well, and we were on of many to stay here. Up at 6am we are only ten minutes from our destination. Morning dog in the park.  Off to find Mama Loumari and Little Elina.

Wow, night went fast and we slept very well. We sleep in a bit, as the morning is beautiful. Today promises to be a long day through several states.  We leave Missouri and pass through Illinois, to Indiana (were we are currently) and about an hour from the Kentucky boarder.   I was driving when I freaked a bit as I could see a train passing in front of us, only to realize we would pass under the train. By Kansas

Today's relive video and map of the Coney's travels. A fun day of traveling, and Janet and I are getting into a rhythm of driving, blogging and enjoying live in the van. We left Kanoplois with a an early start.  As luck would have it we find the showers at the state park shower then to the lake for sunshine photos. Laundry day for the Coney's...  21 minutes later we are at the laundry with internet and a cute puppy I wish I got a photo of.  But will have to go with a photo of the place instead.  After loads of laundry, we now have fresh clothes to wear, life is good.  We back track only a little to visit Coronado heights Castle.  It's on a bit of a dirt road, but Ka'a Nui eats it up. Inside the Spanish castle Our trusty stead waits for us. My fair maiden Kansas historic marker Auto stop, we look so small...

We find the local potable watering hole and refill our 25 gallon tank. A bit tricky as it is a two person job, one to hold the metal valve down on blue column, and one to keep hose in filler neck of the tank. Ohh deer.. I see...
