Day 9: Travel Day - St. Louis to Leavenworth, KS



April 23, 2014

Hello from Leavenworth, Ks.  Today's blog may be a little boring.  Today was a travel day.  We drove from St Louis to Columbia, Mo, to Kansas City, Mo, to Kansas City, Ks to Leavenworth.  Not a very aggressive driving day but we got up this morning and spent some time evaluating the forecasts for this area as well as the route on further north.  We left about lunch time and then stopped in Columbia at the Camping World.  RVs are like boats.  You always need something.  Today we wanted to top off the propane tank because we are going to have some cold weather when we first arrive at Storm Mountain.  Other than that we made one stop for fuel.  It was an uneventful day which is what we want for travel days.  We had forgotten that Kansas City was a huge railroad town.  Our route took us by the largest rail yard we have seen.  We also drove through a lot of farm country.  Hundreds of acres.  BIG tractors with BIG discs turning the soil readying it for planting.  Other than that it was a lot of long straight highway. 
What we saw today
Oh, we haven't been giving you a wildlife count because we haven't seen anything but one more wild turkey and some buzzards.  We will resume that count when we actually see something interesting.  Thanks for all the nice comments and emails.
