Day two of Kentucky trip

April 17, 2007 Long Branch Lake State Park near Macon, MO.

We drove 328 miles today. US36 in Missouri is a mess. Much of the way we could only go 45-50 miles an hour. Consequently, both of us our beat this evening.

York, Kansas Court house

At lunch time we were in Troy, Kansas. I took a picture of their magnificent court house. We
stopped at their very tiny library; only one room,
but they had a half dozen computers, all of which were busy. One of the librarians took
pity on us and let us use her computer to check our e-mail. We're sort of up to date in that department, but didn't really have time to digest it all.

I've been surprised at how little like spring it looks around here. We are spending the night just west of Macon, Missouri at Long Branch Lake State Park. There are no leaves on the trees, not even a glow of green, nor any spring flowers in the woods.
It just looks like winter. However, the temperature is not at all like winter. It was in the 60s most of the day and by the time we stopped for the night it was in the 80s.
