Randolph County

Still alive! And loving it.......
You might wonder why i sound so relieved, but my first night in the RV was quite the experience. Some of you might remember the night we spent in a tent in Heidelberg, but this was the same experience, but then not the „ we have to keep our bodies close together so we wont die“ kind of cold.
Short story: the heater went on strike, during the night... But i survived the 5 degrees temperature, and found a new source of happiness the next morning when the sun was saying hello, and the chipmunks watching me from a far distance (probably laughing, but I am not sure if chipmunks are capable of doing that), but i am making myself think that they were trying to tell me everything was going to be ok...
So, my first real traveling started. I am really getting used to driving my little tank, and even had the balls to take a sip from my coffee during the drive! The roads out here are really great actually, and my fear for the big freeways are almost gone ( except for the big intersections, but other drivers are pretty nice to give me some space when i tend to get in trouble. I now completely understand how truck drivers must feel....
I wanted to make some good amount of miles today, and after some advice from some awesome campground guests, i decided to drive all the way to st-Louis, and maybe pass it already, so that the next day the real scenic view drive down the Mississippi River starts!
I actually drove over the original Route 66 by the way!! Until i realized that the freeway next to it was a way more comfortable road to drive, and the view was exactly the same... so easy decision. After a good 300 miles, i found a beautiful campground for less then 20 bucks, including power supply, so i am quite happy to get a good night sleep.

Like i said, tomorrow i will head towards Memphis, on the so called Great River road, a scenic road that will eventually take me to New Orleans!
