Greenville Campground (COE)

We don't hit it too hard when we travel.  Typically we like to drive about 4 hours - 6 max.  Today we made our first stop at Greenville Campground (COE) on Wappaello Lake.  We seldom get reservations as we seldom know for sure where we'll be stopping.  So, when we got to Greenville, we were lucky to find a spot.  Who would have thought it might be filled on April 14?  As it turned out, there was a black power association get together.  Folks had big white old time Army tents clustered in a meadow next to the campground.  The weekend was shaping up to be a noisy smoky affair.  But, we were moving on the next morning and would not be there to witness the event.

During the night it stormed.  So much for the weather god cooperating.  The next morning it was easy to understand where the old saying “Keep your powder dry” came from.  Oh well, we’re off for Indiana today.  The planned stop is Harmonie State Park, a bit west of Evansville.

Joyce's birthday and start of another trip

Joyce turns...huh...well, let's just say she doesn't have to buy a fishing license in Missouri anymore.  But, we're leaving Missouri today heading for eastern Kentucky.  We are meeting Tom, Jr. and family and, later, Dustin and family at Carter Caves State Resort Park.  Carter Caves was chosen because it is about halfway between Cedarcreek, Mo. and Altmar, NY.  We plan to get there Sunday, April 17.  Tom, Jr. is due to arrive Monday and Dusty on Thursday.  We're all staying until Easter Sunday, April 24.
