March 3, 2011 Heading further south

We were up early in Hinkley.It had warmed up overnight to -8C.  Good shower facilities. Breakfast at Macdonalds (again!)and on the road.
A large motorhome was leaving as I was headed to the shower and 2 of the permanent(?) campers were heading out for the day. We had a good run through the Twin Cities - what little snow/rain there was had passed by the time we got there.
Then straight south through the rest of Minnesota.
We stopped at the Iowa Welcome Center to pick up a new road map and walk  the dogs. The Iowa Welcome Centers have free wifi as well! We had lunch on the run to save time.
We stopped again at the Missouri Welcome Center to pick up a road map and some camping info for the trip back.
We stopped at a town called Eagleville about 8 miels inside Missouri and stopped for the night at the I-35 Campground. We were the only ones there for the first couple of hours but just at dusk a 5th wheel pulled in. The main washrooms/shower house aren't open yet but the owner gave us a key to the office where they have a washroom, shower and laundry facilities they use in the winter. It got up to 16C during the day - not bad a 24 degree temperature change from the morning.
