Day One - Illinois and Missouri

Today was a rolling test of the toys, both electronic and mechanical.  On the electronic side, all appears well with the perpetual tracking system working as intended, (see below).  After a few days I'll be able to tell if we have to mortgage the house to pay Verizon for the bandwidth usage.  

As for the mechanical side, the only issue was a warning that the right rear tire was at 1 psi.  I knew that was a lie because we were still right side up  and not in a ditch.  The rear tires run at a cold pressure of 80 psi.  On a warm day after the tires heat up they'll get up to 95 psi at which time the tire pressure sensor system goes berserk  and tell me they are flat.  Other than that, we're doing good.

On the scenic side, we did pass by the World's Largest Rocking Chair in Cuba MO and a Vacuum Cleaner Museum in St James MO.  Illinois had nothing to compare.

Spending the night at a national forest service CG near Rolla (home of Missouri School of Mines).  Entrance signs warn of flash flood hazard.  Maybe something exciting to report tomorrow.

No pictures.  Conserving that precious bandwidth.

Good night from Lane Spring Campground.
