We've debated staying at the Casino Queen RV Park many times, and we've always decided against this campground. The Casino Queen is in East St Louis. East St Louis frequently tops most dangerous city lists. But, it is also just across the river from downtown St Louis. We had the cleaver idea of staying at Casino Queen, getting a great campground view of the fireworks, and spend the weekend in St Louis, How did this adventure play out?

​We’ve talked about a trip to Colorado longer than we’ve been camping, We mapped out a plan with a stop in Kansas, Estes Park, and Colorado Springs. Did this adventure live up to our expectations?
