Day 1
Day 1-
We left late in the afternoon, headed up the 55.
First stop was at Boomland. We've been stopping here whenever we're in the area for close to 2 decades.
Mary likes the big selection of hot sauces and various canned items.
Leaving there we continued north, toward St. Louis. Thousands of acres of flooded farmland!
Late afternoon we ran into a "first" in Missouri. A dust storm! Cross-wind was 30-40 mph and everyone slowed down to 45-50, not just from the wind, but also the reduced visibility as dust was thick across the interstate.
No Photos, I was busy and Mary was nervous. lol
After getting clear of that, we found a rest area to spend the night...but not before Mary got the first cloud (and sunset) pic of the trip.
Day 2 HERE
