Day 73 – We have this entire campground loop to ourselves, maybe the entire campground, we haven’t checked. The weekend is over. The only noise last night was some thunder in the distance. The forecasted thunderstorms never reached us, though; just a little lightning & some rain. It was 48 degrees when we got up. Today was a day of chores.
We went into Poplar Bluff, a little over ½ hour from the campground. First we did laundry, then we found a health store but they didn’t have what we were looking for, so we went to a regular grocery store, got gas in the Honda, and had lunch at Pizza Hut. By the time we got back to the RV it was around 3 p.m., 58 degrees and cloudy. We continued with the chores until we had made a loaf of bread for future sandwiches, and a huge pot of Tomato Basil Soup with Shrimp. A busy day, but tomorrow we are going back to Mingo NWR again in hopes of seeing more wildlife.
