Today was another travel day and we left north Platte, Nebraska at 8 a.m. and headed east on I-80. At 10 a.m. when we stopped for fuel at the Pilot Truck Center in Wood River, NE and it was already a hot 86 degrees. We exited I-80 onto NE-77, then NE-2 planning to turn onto KS-29 but found the route closed because of flooding of the Missouri River. We had to detour onto NE-75 which took us quite a distance out-of-our-way in order to connect with Rt 36 and eventually Rt 29 further east. We finally found a grocery store lot in Auburn, NE where we could stop for a late lunch. The traffic through Kansas City was very heavy and we were grateful that it wasn't a work day during rush hour. It was almost 6 p.m. and 95 degrees when we arrived at the Great Escape RV Park in Higginsville, MO. We traveled 483 miles today and a total of 1,775 miles in the last four days.
