The "smell of the hay" (e.g.. desire to get home) seems to be getting stronger. We're willing to drive further and stop less than in past days. There are no pictures for today.
We drove from Oklahoma City to Springfield, MO. The route passed Tulsa and Joplin ... both with lots of tourist attractions. The route followed Historic Route 66 much of the way. There were no touring stops.
We spotted a Marie Callender's Restaurant from I-44 in Tulsa. We exited and tried to find it, but got tangled up in construction detours. We finally found it and had a lovely lunch (including pie). It was our only excursion of the day.
The day ended at a very pretty and highly rated KOA campground. Somehow we seem to attract trains. There were active tracks next to the campground and the train whistles provided background music well into the night.
We had a light supper of peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate ice cream (see, we don't eat out all the time) and played several games of Bananagram before bed.
