Woke up at 6:15 this morning to thunder and lightening. After a full breakfast, we packed up & were on the road at 7:45. The thunderstorms had passed & light rain persisted. Over the next couple of hours, we experienced everything from heavy rain with thunder & lightening and +12C, to clearing skies and the temp falling.
We gained an hour upon crossing into Illinois, Central time.
By noon, we had crossed the St. Louis bridge, entered Missouri and the temp has dropped to 0 C! The upside is that the sky is clear & sunny.
Called it a day at 4:10, when we pulled into the LaQuinta Inn in Joplin under sunny skies. However, with the temperature at 2C and expected to drop drastically through the night, we unloaded most of the contents of the truck into the motel room.
868km travelled today.
