Where are we today ?
We had a real good nights rest last night at the Flying J, up early as usual waiting for the sun to rise and the fog to lift. About 8:15 am we hit the road just moseying along enjoying the good roads and warm temps, stopping at the rest areas to get out and stretch. Before noon we had the heat turned off, windows open and shorts on. Loving this warm weather.

Stopped at the Flying J in St. Louis MO to fuel up and grab a couple pizza slices for lunch (2 for $5.00) hit the spot. Also enjoyed the cheaper gas again for our coach. Sure glad we don't have a diesel coach. After we filled up here saw gas for $2.82 a gallon but did not need any yet.
Then passed by the
GatewayArch in St. Louis and thought about stopping, but not real convenient with our coach towing the car. In downtown St. Louis. But at least we saw it and got a picture.
Carried on towards our campground
Lost Valley Lake Resort , no wonder this place is lost. They don't even have names for the roads. We drove along H road, turned right on Y road the thru the hills and valleys to ZZ road. This a huge membership resort and we do not pay any overnight camping fees, included in our
Resorts of Distinction membership. We have had a couple long days of travelling for us, so think we will stay here for a week, why? Just because we can and have never been in in this area before. Not only that we have full hookups, 50 amp, water sewer and frees wifi and no camping fees. Two indoor pools and lots of other stuff here too if we so desire.
More hills and valleys, twists and turns and there it is! We found it, sure not a place you would run into along your route thats for sure.
A nice large site here full hook ups a wonderful 70 degree weather. Lets just stay for a bit. Gonna get colder but we don't care as long as we don't see that white stuff.
A little walkabout after we got set up, washrooms, laundry and a nice rec. hall really close. laundry mat .75 cents to wash and .75 cents to dry, gotta love it.

So now we can relax a bit, read our books outside, fire up our Weber Q to grill a 1/2 chicken, taters in foil with onions, add to that some steamed veggies and of coarse our Swiss chalet dipping sauce to round up and very tasty supper.

Now we had a great driving day, no rush , good weather no rain, no wind and arrived early afternoon. Shorts, t shirts and sandals for me. Will hang out here for a bit and see what there is to see, if we feel like it, or just kick back and have some quiet time for us.
We had a fun day, nice to be exploring and back on the road, hope you had a good day too. Thanks again for stopping by.
