RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more....

Tuesday, June 10, 2003:

I spoke to the wanderers this afternoon and they had JUST pulled in to Black Hawk, SD and were preparing to hook up and run out the slides. They left Kansas City on Sunday and drove all the way up to Mitchell, SD (home of the Corn Palace) and spent the night in the Cabela's parking lot. The camping was free – until they went into Cabela's Monday morning and Dad discovered the giant bargain bin. Sigh. By the time Mom got him out of there, they decided to go ahead and spend Monday night. Then this morning they pulled out and drove on over to Black Hawk, where it's seventy-four degrees and breezy.

Ha! Mom and Dad left on Monday, all right: they got a whole three miles, all the way to Jared's driveway. But I talked to Mom this morning and they're south of Kansas City now, hanging out with Sandy and Coralee. They didn't have to boondock at WalMart, either; they got in about 1:00 p.m. so they had to time to find a nice park. Will probably know more after this weekend, when the rates go way down on her cell phone.

Schedule? Did I mention a SCHEDULE??? Yeah, well. It rained, or something. We're leaving here today--just not going very far before we stop for the nite. So we WILL be rollin' tomorrow! Headed for JD and Marie and our 'reservation' at Walmart. LOL! Bye now!

So, we're getting close! Still on schedule (?) to leave tomorrow morning--complete with plans to meet JD & Marie in Columbia tomorrow evening. :) My last load of laundry is spinning away in the washer, the rug is rolled up, the freezer is stashed in the corner, fridge is defrosted and emptier (it's too small to ever get clear empty!), the sweeper has been run... *I'M* nearly ready to pull out.... I can't speak for the other half--he appears to have this phantom list of 'farm things' and 'garage things' that grows and morphs hourly.... LOL

Weather dude just told me that rain is due to commence tonight around midnite and we're supposed to get 1/2". Whee. Sounds like Keith needs to maneuver this behemoth down off the the hill this evening....or not.

Time to clean the kitchen and make sure all the stuff that's crammed into the cabinets (both of them), is going to stay there. Then repack the basement, dry the laundry and put it away. And I'm mostly done! Then I have to go find our little grandson and try to get in a little bit more quality time. Gonna miss him even more than our kids--I guess partly because he changes on a daily basis! He's gonna be SIX YEARS OLD next month!

No idea when I'll be able to 'blog' again, but Lana will add an update when there's anything to report. See ya!

Enough of that. Time to get READY. Yesterday was 'clean the closet' day. Which I did! Got rid of a little stuff, rearranged what was left.... Kizzee knows something is "up" and didn't get more than 6 inches away from me the whole time I was working! Just like a toddler!

We are definately probably leaving Tuesday morning. Got a dinner date Tuesday nite, 7 hours away in MO -- and a free night's camping at the friendly, neighborhood Walmart.... :) Wednesday nite we should be in Paola, KS, visiting some more of our vagabond friends.

But first, we have to get packed up!
