hmmm - it has been a good bit of time since I posted to this site - and now the title seems a bit 'off' or maybe not. After Summer is over we dust off the motor home and begin our journey southward to our Florida home. This year we journeyed through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and finally down into Florida (yes all you map buffs - we did pass through Alabama on I-10 but we didn't stop). When we travel in the MoHo, I don't usually plan to travel more than 200 miles in a day ( on the road AFTER rush hour and in a campsite well before evening rush !!)

We took factory tours of the John Deere Tractor plant and the Winnebago Motor Home plant (our Itasca MH is a Winne product). Both of these were in Iowa.

Oh yes - the little black Miata is our "Toad" - that is the car we tow behind our motorhome - quite a size difference going from one vehicle to the other !!!!!!!!!!!! :)

We also visitied a fantastic 'living' museum in Mt. Pleasant - the Old Thresher Museum - it had many old steam powered tractors and pieces of equipment - it also had some great displays of early farm life - it was definitely worth a visit - plan two or more hours for this one.

St. Louis - we did the arch, saw the fountain, went to a shrine ... had a good time. Saw where Lewis and Clark started out from on their quest...............

Hannibal, Missouri - - Mark Twain - we took one day for the town and the next morning for a visit to the two caves - both located on or at the Mark Twain Campground.
