We got up, had breakfast and headed south and west. We passed the Trail of Tears State park and then crossed into Missouri. We rode into the Mark Twain Forrest, up and around some hilly, winding roads. There were many trees totally uprooted and laying all over the hillsides. It looked like a tornado had gone through. At a small town gas station, we found out that they had a storm in May that had involved a lot of wind and strong wind. Scientists decided that it was an Inland Hurricane. Hadn't heard of that before.
We rode some great roads and saw some awesome scenery. We landed in Rolla MO for the night. We found a new Super 8, very nice place to stay. Rolla is part of Route 66 and there was a gas station and curio shop nearby.
Sunday, we are up and on the rode again, this time on our way home to Iowa. It was a great trip and we had a really good time traveling with friends, seeing new scenery and visiting and making new friends. Everyone made it home safely.
