Mammoth Goes Birding…and stuff, Day 23

Wednesday, April 30

Written at City of St. Robert Park:
Wish I could sit out and look at birds while I drink my morning coffee but it's too wet, there’s no picnic table and my chair is put away.

I honestly think its these foam pads on these beds that is hurting my hip/leg. I go to bed feeling fine and wake up in agony. Forgot to jog yesterday and that may be part of it.

Lots restaurants in area if we're ever here again.\

It was a pretty bad drive—the road was not as rough but still rough enough to make us miserable. But it was the rain that got us--horrible rain all day, and only just slacking off when we arrived.  We arrived at Cabin RV Park, hooked up and then when Ed went to take a shower, wind gusts of up to 40mph started rocking the Magnus motorhome. I actually checked for a possible tornado warning, but no, it was just the cold front coming through.  The wind gusts blew over the Starlink (on the ground for testing) and the sewer drain holder that I’d so carefully laid out.

We stayed there once before, and when our campground was closed due to high lake levels, I chose to come back here again rather than try to re-reserve the other site.  This place is a full-hookup parking lot behind a diesel repair business. But it is so very, very convenient!  And cheap!  It’s right at the I-44 and Route-69 junction.

You check in at the the truck repair business and pay your fee. The only amenities are picnic tables. But still, I kind of like it.  There are big fields full of meadowlarks all around and a Love’s just down the road if you need anything.

We didn’t eat out this time, but there’s decent place to eat about 20 minutes south on 69. And a nearby café that is rumored to be good.
