The country along this stretch seems quite well used but the
soil remains dark and rich looking. At 2392 km into our trip, we are
entering Missouri. The speed limit is 70 mph. The highways are wide
and in good repair. Traffic was a little heavier than what we had
encountered thus far.
At 6: 50 pm. we are 2505 km. into our trip and stop at St.
Joseph, MO for $ 10: 00 worth of gas and to change drivers. Neither of
us is really hungry so we just get some fruit to munch on and continue
on. We discuss how far we have come and think, just maybe, we will
have time for a good rest before long.
At 7: 40 pm I am amazed at how dark it is getting. We are 2565
km. into our trip and we pass Kansas City MO.
It was 2592 km into our trip when we approached the junction
with Interstate 35, which we must follow south for only 8 km. I must
keep a sharp eye out for our exit to Interstate 70 East. I keep checking
on the kilometers because 2600 km into our trip we meet with
Interstate 70 east, which we must follow for 402km.
At 9: 20 pm, 2790 km into our trip, we come upon the city of
Columbia, MO where I put another $ 8: 00 worth of gas in the car. I'm
really feeling tired now so, since Nadine is awake anyway, we change
drivers. But, again, sleep will not come to me.
July 20, 2000: 12: 10 am, 2959 km into our trip. Nadine cant
use cruise at night and finds her foot a little heavy. The lights of St,
Louis, MO can be seen off to the left of the interstate. A quick pass
through. We are both getting awfully tired. The thoughts of a warm bath
and a bed have us both thinking and scheming how we can do it.
It was 2998 km into our trip and we have entered the state of
Illinois. The speed limit was 65 mph and this is kind of frustrating
because the signs are so far apart. At 3003 km into our trip we hit the
junction of Interstate 64, which we are to follow for 121 km, but not
tonight. We will stop at the first motel and sleep until morning.
At 1: 30 am 3017 km into our trip we stop at the Fairview
Heights Super 8 Motel. All the places to stay were supposed to be
under $ 50, according to our route plan. What a laugh!
Seventy- four dollars later we have a room for six and a half
hours and $ 7: 00 worth of gas. The quick bath did wonders for my body
and then I slept like the dead until our wakeup call at 7 am. We both
slept another half hour then went down for a quick complimentary
breakfast of cereal, fruit buns and bagels. We were back on the road
again by 8: 30 am. and I say I will take the first two hours.
