Junction City KS & Lazy Day CG

First here's the picture of where we parked at the Casino on Saturday night.

Our rig
Jack & Danielle Mayers rig
We left there around 10am after pulling in the gas station and filling the trucks up. We only took a hundred gallons so now we're set until we get back to Michigan.

We arrived in Junction City about 4pm and the guys backed up to the service center building at the New Horizon Factory. Jack will be getting some things done on his rig and this was the best place for us to park over night. The timing was perfect as Gail and Bonnie Quinn were there for the big open house they had at the factory. So we were able to spend a little time with them.

We left there about 9am this morning. Woke up to 52 degrees and about froze. The rest of the day wasn't any better as far as the temperature, never got out of the 50's.

We had a pretty good trip today. Only problem was going through Kansas City. Of course there was construction (right in the middle of town) and the lane we were in was closed up ahead. No problem, we still had plenty of time to get over, until this idiot in front of us panic and hit his brakes. Lets just say if we would of had a smaller truck this guy would have become a speed bump.

There has been a lot of flooding here in Missouri. I wish I had my camera when I spotted this car. Don't no what kind it was - small two seater sports car - but it was sitting in the middle of this lake with water up to the windshield. The door was wide open so they must of just gotten out in time.

We are staying tonight at Lazy Day CG in Montgomery City MO. It's a nice place with some trees but they aren't to bad to get around. Or I should say so far, we still have to get out of here tomorrow. I called ahead and told the lady what we were driving and she said she had just the spot for us and would save it. So we have lots of room and didn't have to unhook anything.

Tomorrow will be another short day. The plan is to stop at our favorite Walmart in Terre Haute IN. I think its only about 250 miles. Than on to Elkhart IN the next day. We'll stay a few days there and check out all the RV Surplus places.

My brother Larry sent me a email today and suggested we drive slow getting back. It was 39 degrees there this morning. He best be getting some warm weather there or we'll be pulling our rig into his nice huge in floor heated shop. I have no problem with living inside his building until it warms up outside.

Guess that's it for tonight. I haven't looked at our StatCounter for a few days but Welcome - Euless TX, Ireland, Dover DE, Highland CA, Oracle AZ, Dayton OH, Springtown TX, Grand Rapids MI, Edinburg TX. Till next time.........For all our RV friends who are out there traveling to their summer spots - safe travels and we'll see you down the road.
