We got two inches of rain last night.  After breakfast this morning we decided to go ahead and leave today and try to get a camping site at Ozark National Scenic Riverway in Missouri.  We hooked up, dumped and left.  On the way we stopped at Bollinger Mill State Historic Site.  There is an old mill here and a covered bridge.  They were in the process of restoring the bridge.  We continued on and stopped at the visitor’s center for the national park and picked up a map and some information on the nearby campground.  There are six loops in the campground and only loop 2 has electricity.  All of the sites were occupied or reserved.  Three sites were reserved from 8-31 until 9-3 but were empty.  We drove to check out the boondocking sites and a guy followed us.  He told us his brother left this morning and had the last site in loop two reserved until tomorrow.  We got his brother’s site.  We don’t have any TV here so we will watch recorded shows on the DVR tonight.
