Day 27 of #BoxsterRoadTrip finds us in FIVE states!
We left Plattsmouth, Nebraska very early (6:30 am) and watched the sunrise as we drove south to Kansas. We wish we could have had the time to go to Kansas City, but not on this trip. We left Kansas and headed to Missouri, stopping at a restaurant called Toot Toot in Bethany, MO. Then we started across Missouri.
Missouri had long straight roads followed by more long straight roads. Jo had to give Steve a break driving because it was making him a little drowsy. First thing she did was run over a snake. That woke her up!
And then Steve woke up when we came across the camels! First, it was a Dromedary Camel! And then we saw the Bactrian Camel. We had to double back for photos, just to document that we weren’t losing our minds! Yep. ‘Em are camels!
We crossed back into Iowa (that was a surprise!) on our way to Illinois, just before we crossed the mighty Mississippi River. We followed the river north until we reached Nauvoo, Illinois.
Tonight we are staying at a historic (and lovely) B&B called The Nauvoo Grand. We have a beautiful room with a view and, even better, a deep tub to soak away the aches from 406 miles of driving!
The journey continues . . .
