As we have the last few years, we took our time getting around today and finally pulled out in the late morning. I forgot to make a brisket this year! (Thanks, Ben, for reminding me and making me feel guilty.) We do miss that we won't have brisket sandwiches along the way.
So, we headed across Kansas to the east and decided our first goal would be... wait for it... the Goodwill store in Joplin, Missouri. For those that have followed our travels over the years you will remember that the store in Joplin has impressed us as the "best laid out" of the thrift shops we visit. We tend to visit stores like this on vacation; sometimes for some item we left (this year it was the microwavable large bowl that I left in the dishwasher) and sometimes just for fun.
Joplin's Goodwill had to move because the one we had visited was in the area hit be the tornado a few years ago. It's now near that spot, but smaller. We still liked the way it's laid out with the racks arranged by color in each department (all the red blouses together, etc.)
After finding a suitable item to cook in, a fork (yes, left some other things in the dishwasher, too!), and some jeans for Chris, we headed out again. We ended up staying overnight near Neosho, Missouri, at the Stage Stop Campground. It's small and sites are fairly close together, but was plenty OK for a quick overnight stay. We had a nice visit with the campground host.
