9/17 morning leaving st louis going to Springfield

we left our cozy noisy campsite at Casino Queens (don't think we'll be staying there again) very nice but right against railroad tracks and boy do they blow the horns (Metro Links runs till about 1 AM and then starts again bright and early in the morn, so you get about 4 hrs sleep) but at least the laundry area was a couple steps from our site so I caught up on that and thought I was doing good by doing two loads of laundry....little did I know that my new soap was going to put me in the hospital later in the day! Yup, that new stuff they talk about on TV called Purex all in one- one sheet does it all...from the washer to the dryer, well it did it all and I broke out in welts that made leprosy look like it was coming back. Started on my arm to my butt up my back and then my face....what a site! Thank god my camera was full and Joe couldn't snap any pictures.
so after wasting that afternoon at the hospital we were too late to do much of anything so we pulled into a site in Springfield, MO that believe it or not was on top of another friggin train track and we couldn't see them because it was too late and dark but boy could we hear them.....ugh i just wanted to scream at this point between scratching and itching and being soooo uncomfortable and not being able to sleep and all the friggin noise from the trains I swear at the next site we both agreed that was going to be our first question we ask before checking in.....Do you have any train tracks hidden behind the trees?
we're staying here tonight and going to Fantastic Caverns in the AM, then coming back to get the camper and Bailey and go to Silver Dollar City and maybe Branson and a new site....bbs
