New Franklin

Finally made it through Boonville to New Franklin and the Katy Roundhouse Campground. I have to admit that I was pretty beat when I got here. Today's walk of 23 miles, coupled with my 20 miler the day before, was too long, too hot, and too inclined. I paid my money, pitched the tent, and had a hearty dinner of Ramen Noodles. It didn't take me long to fall asleep that night. The next day was a rest day because Jill was meeting me to replenish my food supplies. Sometime during the night a Boy Scout troop had arrived a few campsites over and I didn't know it. That's called a good nights sleep. I slept in and took a nice shower in the bathhouse. This is a beautiful campground, lots of history. The remnants of an old roundhouse are still there, I hope the pictures turn out. Jill arrived, dropped off some great snacks and dehydrated food. It started to rain later that night, had zero probems sleeping.

Well it's 7:30 and still raining hard. I packed everything but the tent so I could go as soon as the rain lets up. It's now 9:00 and down to a light drizzle. I thought that if I'm going to be wet I might as well be wet on the trail. On to Hartsburg and Katfish Katy's.
