Hi All: We made it to Terre Haute, IN at about 1630. Traveling on I-70 is the toughest road we have ever been on. Including the Alaska Highway in Canada and Alaska. It the worst ever. rough, and more trucks than we have ever seen on a highway. Tought trip.

Was good to get to the KOA campground and get set up. Damn step took a dump again. Was afraid it might not last the trip. Guess the gear switch didn't work that well. Now Amy has to come out the drivers door when we stop along the way. There is a Camping World in Nashville. Hope I can get some parts there for it...

Photo's above: Ice Cream truck caught fire on I-70 just ahead of us along the way. He was able to pull off the road at a exit. Don't know how he did as we kept going. He was running around the truck when we passed him.. Amy found some Deer in the yard of the last campground. Neat yard things. KOA campground here had a couple donkeys Amy found to be cute?? AND Pharaoh attacking the had that feeds him.

KOA campground here is pretty nice. Also had a resturant, so Amy didn't have to cook dinner. Dinner was fair. Not near as good as something she could have thrown together, but she didn't have to work. It was a tough day. Over 300 miles of extra rough road, and one mistake at a exit that our GPS had to work to get us back on the road. But she did good...

Have about 200 miles tomorrow for one more stop before we get to Branson. I thought we had planned to stay in Branson 4 nights, but Amy checked the trip ticket and found that we have reservations for 6 nights there. Will be able to find something to do that long I am sure.

Won't have any trouble falling asleep tonight.

Semper Fi

Don, Amy, & Pharaoh.
