Elkhart to St. Louis

---

Saturday, June 27 (Elkhart KOA to St. Louis West KOA):
Not much to write about today. We left the Elkhart/Middlebury KOA this morning just after 8am and stopped at a KFC/Taco Bell along the way for lunch. We’d reset our watches to Central Time just before that and were trying to adjust our routine by eating a later lunch than usual, but didn’t expect the KFC/Taco Bell place to help us out, by taking over 20 minutes to fill a simple order for two! The father and son next to us had waited almost 40 minutes for their lunch. Not sure if they were short-handed or just slow, but it definitely redefined “fast food.” Arriving at the St. Louis West KOA just after 3pm, we unloaded, and then decided to go for a swim. This was our 10th KOA and the first time we’d made use of the swimming pool, not so much due to the cooler weather as to the lack of time or tiredness when we finally returned to the KOA. Our vacation is almost over, with just one more stop at the Hot Springs KOA in Arkansas to search for real diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds State Park there. We watched a couple more movies tonight, Code and Spectacular, with dinner in the Kabin and will leave in the morning for Hot Springs, Arkansas. Since tomorrow will be mostly a day of travel again, I probably won’t have much more to write about tomorrow, but with a little luck on Monday, we just might have a bit more to tell you all about. I hope you’ve enjoyed our trip and maybe even inspired some of you to do something similar.
