A quick decision was made to go on a bike ride over the extended 4th of July weekend. I found a nice route to the two Boone County campgrounds that would keep the riding fairly short and enable us to do a loop from our home. We didn't get packing until late Wednesday and had to do the final packing on Thursday. But with only 20 miles for the first day starting a little late didn't cause any issues. Half way we stopped in Slater to eat lunch before continuing on to Madrid on the High Trestle Trail. The night we spend at the Swede county park. Swede Park, no worries about tent sites. Our worries about having difficulties to find a open campsite was not justified. The park had 10 tent spots that were nicely separated from the RVs and none were taken when we arrived. Later that night only one other tent campers came. Swede Park had a nice bathroom/shower facilities, great tasting water and some nice hiking trail in the woods to a prairie...
