Oh yeah........we left Roaring River this morning and drove to the Lake of the Ozarks. After being without cell phone service and wifi within TheHowserHouse, it is like being "back in the real world" again. But first......
Yesterday we just played around at doing not much of anything......sounds like a couple of old senior citizens, doesn't it? But.....it was a great day and we enjoyed doing nothing of much importance. We DID have to move as the site we were in since Sunday was reserved for last night and the rest of this week. Sooooo, within an hour after we pulled ourselves out of the bed, we were packed, sides pulled in, and we moved to the opposite side of the cg #2, the same one we were in. Moved to site #110.....and WHAT A WONDERFUL SITE!!!! Soooo much space on the door side of TheHowserHouse and it was like being camped all alone. Listen up, Roaring River campers.....this is a really wonderful site!!!
Then after some French Roast coffee for myself and hot tea for the 1st Lady, we took a bike ride over to cg #3.....and looked around, talked with the campground hosts, and watched the fishermen/women using those fly rods like pros. Then we walked to the end of the cg and where the little low water bridge crosses the "river".....and looked and enjoyed the stream.
Returning to TheHowserHouse we just didn't do much.......went up to the Conference Center to use the wifi so I could post Tuesday's post and the 1st Lady could check her email. Then we grilled some great hamburgers with a new BBQ sauce we had purchased in EurekSprings.........it has pomegranate in it, and WOW......what a great choice we made!!!!! Soooooo damn good.....yum, yum!!!! Then after dark we had a camp fire and sat and enjoyed it for a couple of hours.
And today.........we left around 9:45 this morning after "dumping" all of the tanks in cg #3......a bit better access to the dump station than at cg #1. Got as much of a "run" on the steep hill as I could and still make the 25 mph curve just before going UP the hill for a bit over a 1/2 mile.....probably a 7% grade. Not really a problem.......made it up without any trouble, even though it is impossible to get the rig going at any speed prior to the ascent because of that damn curve which is at the start of the trip upwards.
We made it to the Lake in a bit less than four hours, including two stops along the way. Our site here at Riverview Campground which backs right up to the Osage River, just below the Hwy 54 bridge is terrific!!!! Such a wonderful view out of our large rear window in TheHowserHouse......overlooking the swift flowing Osage. This evening as I was sitting outside enjoying the view, I saw two Eagles, four LARGE Great Blue Herons, and lots of other birds flying around and over the river. Very relaxing......and very comfortable!!
Tomorrow......unless there is a last minute backing out of the buyers, we will close the sale on my mother's home. It sold in a much quicker time than I had anticipated......and my sister and I are both very happy about that!
We will be here until Sunday when we will return to our stick and brick. We will do some shopping either tomorrow or Saturday.......ALWAYS have to go the Outlet Mall!!!! Restraint and discipline are the two key words for a few hours while there!!!!!
And soooooo, with such a terrific view......how can it be anything else but......
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!! .....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
