Happy Birthday, Barbara Tricomi!!!!! Sorry, Rob woke you up to sing his rendition of Happy Birthday :(
We cruised around Kansas City with almost no problems, until Rob saw a Starbucks and QT sign, so he thought he could get a coffee and diesel at the same stop. Wrong! They were in opposite directions. Then, to add insult to injury, he dented our camper a bit on the QT bumper. Oh well, suppose we'll keep the Dent Doctor in business!
Then, the REAL adventure began as we exited off I-70 towards our campground. I should have suspected that we'd be in for some TRUE primitive camping when the directions stated that we'd travel on a gravel road for 1-1/2 miles. When we came to the fork in the road, with no clear directions on which way to turn, suddenly lout of nowhere a pickup truck pulls up, and the driver says, "What in the world are Cobb County folks doing in the middle of nowhere Missouri?" His next question was priceless, "Are you folks looking for the campground?"
No buddy, we always pull a 34 foot camper on gravel roads just for fun!!!! He then told us that he was also from Cobb County and directed us to the campground. Well,,,,,,,,,,,we arrived in the middle of Duck Dynasty! Luckily, once inside our camper, we really don't care what our surroundings are, well, at least not for one night! I'm in the office, where Internet is available, so I can't complain too much! Tomorrow we travel to southern Illinois to visit some of Mom's side of the family! Wish us luck navigating around St. Louis!!
