Moving East and North

After staying in La Junta, CO, we traveled following the Santa Fe Trail most of the time.  Earlier this summer we did many miles along the Oregon Trail.  Many people emigrated along the Santa Fe Trail, but it was a really important route for commerce, with the railroad then following a similar track.  All very interesting.

We stayed in Big Bend, Kansas - that would be a big bend in the Arkansas River. Today we crossed the Missouri River into Missouri and are staying near Eagleville, MO in the north of the state.  We're in a really comfortable campground.  Below is a picture of Bob getting ready to cook dinner under a beautiful old oak tree.  We walked down to a little lake on the property, and now we're enjoying the sun set.
