I got back to Jefferson City a little after 1 PM. No surprises. The grass is high but not too bad. Watson was excited to have me back (for once).
The drive from Miami to Jefferson City was uneventful. As always, Missouri looks like a jungle when coming from the drier plains and deserts. I came back through Lebanon (Mo) on highway 5 and it has been improved a great deal from the last time I tried it and the bypass around the Lake of the Ozarks is very nice.
On reflection, the route down US-54 is maybe 20 miles shorter than coming on the interstate but I'm not convinced that it was a better route. When I go back I'll be pulling a trailer, I think, so it would be better for that than having to negotiate the larger cities and interstate highway changes. US-54 only has Wichita and that is a straight shot. Otherwise, I'd opt for the interstate just because you have better choices for food and lodging and occasionally a place to get out and walk around.
I'm home for only two days and then I'm off again to Chicago to see the Gold Cup soccer final next Sunday.....then back here on Monday. I'll head back to NM around August 3rd with a pick-up and trailer full of stuff. I plan on being back here around August 12th and will stay until I can get movers to haul the rest of the stuff back down to the new house.

I'll be posting some reactions and pictures of the house on Ken's Gazette
