We left the Lake of the Ozarks Friday morning.........driving to SE Missouri to Sam A. Baker State Park. It was about 250 miles and we made it in just under 5 hours......and that was 85% of the time on winding, narrow two lane highways going through the forests and up and down and around and around the Missouri hills. Very few trees have any color in the leaves.....yet.
We had not made any reservations for the Park......and neither had Dr. Jeni, Darrel, and family in their motorhome. They had left their home on Thursday night and had driven to F'town and "camped" in our driveway there. Two years ago I had installed on the front of the garage a 35 amp outlet for rv's....and so they plugged in and had a great night at our house......on the driveway!
They arrived at the Park about 10 minutes before we did....and had located the two side-by-side rv sites and already had "claimed" them for our rigs. Soooo, backed in and soon were attached with our umbilical cords and slides all out and set up. And sooooo, the weekend with them, including our great little grandchildren began.........
As I said, the weather was just AMAZING!!!!! No wind, no breeze, but just brilliant blue skies and bright October sunshine.......simply gorgeous!!! We enjoyed grilling, talking, playing, hiking, biking, and just ambling along the stream that is named Big Creek....very aptly! The two campgrounds in the Park were almost full.....and the cabins were completed rented out.....so, others had the same idea as we did......get out into the state park and enjoy this incredible weather!
As Sam A. Baker State Park is only 40 miles from our stick and brick, it didn't take us long to return here this afternoon. We only unloaded the few things that we needed for the next two days......as we are leaving on Wednesday morning for Springfield, IL area where we attend the Region 6 Rally of the Cedar Creek RV Owners Club. It will a fun time as many of our CCRVOC friends will be there!!
And so, a great week of rving..........so relaxing, so enjoyable because of the wonderful weather, and just great to be out in TheHowserHouse once again!!!!!! WOW.......of course, how can it be anything else other than.........
LIFE IS JUST INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
Politics is like driving a car: Put the car in "R" and you go backward; Put the car in "D" and you go forward!!
