St. Louis to KOA, W. Memphis, AR:  Left this morning at 9:45.  Headed out on the I-270 bypass to I-55 south.  Drove through the pretty rolling hills of rural Missouri with the trees awash in fall colors and pretty green pastures dotted with contented, grazing cattle. A beautiful, sunny day in the low 70s.  Stopped in Sikeston, MO, to fuel up and have something to eat.  Then Mike took over driving.  Dropped down from the rolling hills into the flat fields of cotton and rice in the Missouri boot heel.  After crossing the line into Arkansas, I-55 declined badly, and we had about 60 miles of a teeth jarring drive.  Arrived here in W. Memphis and were set up by 4:00.  76 here when we pulled in.
