Lewis and Clark SP had suffered severe flooding a couple of years ago, so this was the first season it was re-opened for camping. We arrived in the late afternoon on Wednesday evening and set up camp on a nice level spot this time.
Thursday was not only Independence Day, but also Kat's birthday. We ran into town (Atchison, KS) to get a few things we forgot to bring with us, then came back to camp for fun day and evening to celebrate her birthday. My daughter and son-in-law also joined us.
On Friday morning, Kat and Shane did a little (unsuccessful) fishing, then we drove to nearby St. Joseph, MO, to spend an afternoon at the Pony Express Museum and the Patee House Museum. The Patee House in particular was filled with many interesting displays. We returned well into the evening to relax at camp.
On Saturday, we drove to the northern parts of Kansas City to let Kat go with her mom (my daughter) for the rest of her birthday weekend. Shane and I made our way back to camp to the rest of the day, evening and next morning there.
