We stayed overnight at both these bases on our way south. Scott is east of St Louis. Scott’s RV park was near a small lakes on base, I’m starting to see a pattern with air force bases. They like having a recreation lake. Scott had a really nice running path close to the RV park. It takes you around one of the runways. Both Ben and I went running. It was pretty foggy still when I was out, so I didn’t get to see much. I liked the tunnel underneath the runway.


Ft. Leonard Wood is an Army base in Missouri, about halfway between St Louis and Springfield. It’s a training facility, possibly a boot camp location, because there were lots of young soldiers walking and running around. We saw a few formations getting ready for something. The gym was nice; that and a trip to the Commissary were all we did here. We stop for a few days at Beaver Lake next, in the Ozarks in northwest Arkansas.
