Harry S. Truman State Park & Tie Dye.

Check out all the pics on my Flickr.

Zippy, Morgan, Garf, Blayne, Paul & I camped at Harry S. Truman State Park in Warsaw, Missouri last weekend and the weather could not have been any better. We didn’t go swimming (mid 70’s during the day) but we made up for that by spending twice as much time in front of the fire. Immediately after arriving we setup camp and went biking. That area of Missouri is pretty hilly so the biking was a bit of a pain but you could really haul ass on the way back down.

I bet we got the best camp site in the entire grounds. It was actually a double site, we just got both at the very end of a nice little private loop with our own trail down to the lake.

The lake looked great as usual.

After biking for a while and breaking into the beers, Zippy was quick to wrap one of the picnic tables in cellophane effectively turning it into a “Tie Dye Workstation”.

She even Tie Dyed my Genius shirt. lol.

I’m confident everyone had a great time. I think everyone except Paul slept great too. (Note: Paul says sleeping in a Honda Element is not advised) When we all got up Sunday morning we hung out lazily as Zippy produced an awesome breakfast over the fire.

It wasn’t until 2:pm (which happens to be check out time) when we actually got motivated enough to break camp and head out. Paul brilliantly suggested we all take a trip to Warsaw for some good eats and a great view. Unfortunately the restaurant in Warsaw was closed so we took a bigger step and went down to Lake Ozark to eat at JB Hooks. Definitely a killer idea. JB Hooks has a patio with a 14 mile panoramic view of the Lake of the Ozark shorefront.

Blayne! I hope you enjoyed your short stay in Missouri. Remember: “You’re always welcome in Missouri State Parks” hehe. We’ll definitely make our way out to Oregon sooner or later.
