A Wonderful Place To Be

     We spent the last two days traveling across Kansas. Yesterday we  arrived at Eagle Ridge RV Park in Eagleville, MO. It’s just beautiful. So far, the places we’ve stayed have  been ok…for RV parks. But this place is just lovely. What a change of scenery!



     Everything is amazingly green. This is a private campground where the owners live right on the grounds. All the campsites have beautiful oak and maple trees. Some actually park right on the grass. And, even though it’s cloudy and drizzly, it’s warm and balmy. I didn’t even mind that today was laundry day

           

There’s a lake that looks like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn should be floating on their rafts. Coco loves it here. He’s been frolicking in the grass like a young pup…so cute!

              

                           
                       

There’s a beautiful view in every direction.

     This afternoon Jim decided we should take a little drive “to town.” He was hoping for an ice cream parlor. I was looking for a post office to mail our grandbabes some post cards.

 We found the post office, but, alas, no ice cream parlor.

     The nearest two towns have populations of of 310 and 135. I think we found the primary industry of the area…these photos were taken on opposite corners of one intersection of the nearby interstate

       The first one just cracked us up…Pyro BBQ…LOL!!

         
The blue sign on the archery shop says Fireworks. Not to be outdone, Hale sells most everything.

So, if you’re wanting a little (or big) side business…make it fireworks!

After dinner, we took Coco for an evening walk. The lake came alive with the sounds of hundreds of birds, frogs and who knows what else. So cool! And the best thing of the whole day was…Fireflies!

Tomorrow we take a day trip to Winterset, Iowa and the covered bridges.

Wishing you a great day!
