See https://retirementrvdream.com/2022/05/17/stopped-for-the-night-in-illinois/ for our travels yesterday.
We got up this morning and started packing up the RV. While Bruce was walking Nox, I went to pay for our night at the park. I had an entertaining conversation with the gentleman who took the payment. We left the park at 8:20 am.
We carefully pulled out; it was tight. Then we worked our way along the interstate to the Saint Louis area. We bypassed the city by cutting up north and going across the top of the city. We picked up I-70 and followed it until Kansas City. We went on alt I-70 through Kansas City and onto the Kansas Turnpike.
We are planning to stop in Hays, Kansas for three nights. I’ve got a friend who lives there and I promised to stop by and visit the next time we were crossing Kansas on I-70.
Nox has been a trooper for this long day. At one point, she started getting antsy, so we pulled off at the next rest stop for her. She needed the bio break.
We are almost to our campsite in Hays, KS. The GPS says we are 27 minutes from the campground.
Retirement RV Dream 
I hope you are all settled in now! Safe travels!

We made it just as the sun was setting and we’re able to get the RV setup. Thank goodness for check list.

Hays is where Larry is from. Take the walking tour and go see Fort Hays. I think you would really enjoy both. And if you like Dinosaurs, there is the Sternberg Museum too. See you soon. 🙂

You are welcome. The walking tour and Fort Hays are both pretty interesting. It talks about the days of the Wild, Wild West. Hays had a pretty rough reputation back in the day.

Julia,
It sounds like you’re putting on a lot of miles. Thanks for all the pictures. Give Nox a pat on the head for me.
