Trail of Tears State Park, Jackson Missouri

We spent the last couple of days camping at a Missouri State Park, Trail of Tears near Jackson, MO. We took our bikes and our new bike rack worked, after a few adjustments.




This park overlooks the Mississippi River. It was nice watching the barges moving up and down the river. The weather was great. Fall camping is the best. Cool to cold at night and warm during the day. Nothing but sunshine and blue skies during the day and stars at night. We did have train tracks between us and the river. The trains came through now and then and they were very, very loud. The ground shook. Love those trains at 1:00 AM and at 5:00 AM and at other times too. Hard to believe we complained about the trains at the Rally in Indiana.
