We woke up in the lovely state park overlooking the lake/resevoir. I thought about staying another day, just to catch up on laundry and videos. But as I stepped out of the van, I screamed. I’d nearly stepped on a snake. The creepy thing slithered under the van and I didn’t see it come out the other side. Now I’m worried its made itself at home in Rodger somewhere. That quickly made up my mind to get out of there, much quicker than we’d planned.

Today we just drove and drove and drove and kept on going until we got to Kansas. The roads were very straight and boring. We navigated to Scott city and found a nice state park overlooking a lake. I didn’t want to camp right next to the lakes due to snakes, so we parked up on a hill overlooking the lake.

And if I thought the snake was bad, what I saw the next day was even worse!
