Day 96 St Claire, MO- Bennett Springs SP Lebanon, MO 11.04.16
Drove Route 66 or at least some parts of it as we could jumping onto I44 when Route 66 disappeared. Saw some of the oddities along Route 66 - town of Bourbon's water tank, town of Cuba with its murals and the oldest running motel, Bob's Gasoline Alley with his collection of signs and other items, 2nd largest rocking chair, Devils Elbow bar where the ceiling is lined with bras, and final stop in the town of Uranus where we bought fudge and other candies. LOL Camping tonight at Bennett Springs State Park

Days 94-95 LaGrange,KY-New Harmony, IN-St Claire, MO 11.02.16-11.03.16

Toured a strange town New Harmony.  Streets were empty on Main St but we did see people driving around in golf carts checking out the old part of town and the roofless church. Wandered through their labyrinth eventually finding our way to Harmonie State Park only to find a sign that said campground full but it really wasn't full and we got a spot for the night.  Next day, we drove to St Louis and viewed the arch from across the river.  Sprinter rear tire had a slow leak so found a tire shop west of St Louis and hung out while they fixed it. Just another day on the road and still loving it.

Spent a fun couple of days with our friends Kurtis and Claudia touring Louisville and the area. Checked out their not for profit company WaterStep and trick or treated with their grandkids.  Next day, we took a drive along Ohio River on the Indiana side.  Thanks again for everything Kurtis and Claudia.

Followed the New River to where it joins the Gauley River and becomes the Kanawha river. Lots of coal mining in this area. Cemeteries reflect that fact. Finally arriving at our friends home in LaGrange, Kentucky
