We are trying to make up for the time lost yesterday. We drove 8 hours and 336 miles today. We are at the Route 66 Overnight RV Park in Weatherford OK. It was a great day for driving.

Well we are on the road heading to our granddaughter's graduation in California. Today was one of those days if you know what I mean. As most of you know we have spent the past week in Sedalia, MO. State Fairgrounds at the Escapees Escapade. Well it rained all week and the fairgrounds was just a muddy soupy mess. We were stuck so we had to wait for a tow.

We didn't get out of the Fairgrounds until 2:45 PM. We drove 188 miles to Ballard's RV Park in Carthage MO. We got here about 7 PM. We will be back on the road in the morning.

Another of our short driving days. We drove 48 miles to The State Fairgrounds in Sedalia MO. We are here to attend the Escapade 2009 and will be here until Friday.

We have gone for a ride the past couple of days. One day we went 'wining' or checking out a number of wineries in the area. Another day we went down to Sadalia to check out where the Escapade will be that we are going to. The past two days we stayed in town. Today believe it or not we found the best Mexican Restaurant in the country 'so far'. The restaurant is called La Carreta Restaurant.

Another nice day riding through the countryside. We are in Higginsville MO at the fairgrounds and will stay here until the 23 of May.

We stayed a week at Spring Lake. Spring Lake is the best RV Park we have been to except for a couple of Escapee Rainbow Parks. 

Today we drove to   Williamsburg KS to Homewood RV Park. The drive was only 150 miles. We will move on in the morning.

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there.

Yesterday was a very good day. It started with breakfast at the clubhouse then our good friends, Ron and Leone, came over and we spent the day playing cards. Then we treated our friends to dinner at the clubhouse. It sure was great having them over.

The clouds have left and the sun is finally shining in Kansas. We really like this park, Spring Lake RV Resort, it is a lot like an Escapee Rainbow park. We went on a dine out last night with 15 other couples. Friday there will be a snack bar and bingo. Saturday there will be breakfast first then supper at the clubhouse. Then 
Sunday  morning there will be breakfast (eggs) to order. This is a possible place to work camp in the future.

Well so much for planned routes. We blew it today. We read about some places we would like to check out so instead of following our planned route we went riding around the countryside, yes the 5th wheel in tow.
We went to Yoder, KS to  an Amish meat market called Yoder Meats. Then it was of to Hutchinson, KS. and  the Dutch Kitchen Restaurant, we got lost. Very interesting finding my way around with RV in tow. Last we headed east on Hwy 50 and found Spring Lake RV Resort in Halstead, KS. We will stay here at least three nights.

We went The Pancake House in Guymon, OK this morning. I almost made a mistake. The restrooms had "Angel" and "Dips" the doors. I was going to go into the first but thought better of it.
We drove through Greenville KS. on our way east. This is the town that was wiped out by a tornado last year and is rebuilding "green".
We are in Pratt KS. today at the Evergreen RV Park. We plan on staying a couple of days.
