We left Champagne, Illinois around 9 am this morning. The drive was pretty uneventful. We stopped at Hannibal, MO, where Mark Twain grew up. We looked at the Mississippi River, saw a train coming through town and got food at the Mark Twain Brewery. Since we had a seven hour drive we got our food to go and ate in the car. The food was really good. The drive through Missouri was chilly and rainy. We did see places where Lewis and Clark made there expedition west. We ended our drive today at Waubonsie State Park in Iowa. It took us a total of 8 hours with two stops. We sat up camp and then drove the 5 minutes to Whiskey Springs to eat dinner. The weather here is around 50 degrees so we put jackets and pants on. It should be a good night to sleep in the tent.
