We had a weekend trip planned for Echo Bluff State Park. Echo Bluff is a fairly new state park in Missouri. We were going there to celebrate the Missouri Stream Team’s 30th anniversary.

2/15/2020 We started this 3 day weekend with a long drive on 2/14, Valentine’s Day. Lucky for me, Danelle and I don’t celebrate this made up holiday! Instead, Corvin and I headed out. We knew we wouldn’t make it to Florida this night, but we needed to get as far as possible. The goal was … Continue reading “State 25 – Florida”
Having property is nice, but its also a lot of work. If you have improvements, then they have to be maintained. In our case, we were out there, caulking to keep the rain from rotting everything out.

1/4/2020 This is the second time we’ve had issues getting a state sign. This one cost us $1.75 in tolls… When we drove I-29 to get to Nebraska from Kansas, you’re actually traveling in Iowa right until you cross the border on a bridge over the Missouri river. Of course we can’t stop on a … Continue reading “State 24 – Nebraska”
