New London, MO








Making a Boston Cream Pie, good thing I'm used to a small kitchen:-)







We have a couple of extra days before we are due at Sara & T's so decided to head South. We are in New London, Missouri. It is just outside of Hannibal. We will spend three days here. The drive was still the endless farmland. I have a picture to try and convey the acres of corn that is grown here. As far as the eye can see, it is corn. A few more trees and hills along this stretch of road. The rest areas in Iowa all have WiFi/Internet access and are smoke free! We are staying at Injun Joe Campground. Think Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn and you will get the connection. We are in Mark Twain territory and very close to the Mississippi River. Weather is warmer, upper 70's and quite nice. Campground is OK; shaded sites, pool, picnic tables and very slow Internet service. Peepers and crickets are making all sorts of noise, haven't heard them in a long time.

Hey Uncle Owen - are you comparing your foot size to the bottle of mustard? Haha
