Hope Everyone Had a

Dave upon closing the slides to soon, had to climb over the counter to get my purse that was on the floor. Not an easy task.

It is Monday the 13th of October and We are heading out once again.….Because, “Life is a Highway” a song by Tom Cochrane.

🎶Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (whoo!)
If you’re goin’ my way
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)🎵

Our first destination was Maple Lakes Campground in Seville, Ohio, We drove 262 miles to get there.

Our site was # 51.

They have an old baseball diamond so I decided to pitch to Dave and he hit the ball back. Who needs a ball and a bat?

We drove 246 miles from Ohio to our second stop the KOA in Richmond Indiana. This was the second time we stayed here.

Our site #131.

Like all big campgrounds that cater to kids, KOA’s that are open, have Halloween activities going on during the weekends of October. We found that out on our very first outing 8 years ago. It’s this KOA’s 3rd weekend of Halloween Fun.

Our number 3 stop is at Kaskaskia Dragon RV Park in Vandalia, Illinois. We have been here twice before. Our site is #2. We were surprised when we arrived because there was only 2 spots left ours and #1, which was shortly filled. The other times we were here the was only a few spots taken. We drove 245 miles to get here.

We took route 70 west going through Ohio and Indiana the highway wasn’t good, all kinds of bumps, bangs and crashes going on, we got “All shook Up” I think that’s a song? They were working on section of it in Indiana but that small section isn’t going to matter much when most of it is in bad shape. We won’t be taking this route any time soon.

We had to make the Dragon shoot out fire once again, especially since the tokens are free when you stay at the campground.

Mac’s Liquor Store is right across the street and for people who need a drink bad. . . and they have a drive-thru. They heck with drug store and prescriptions, the people there go to Mac’s when needed.

We are now West of the Mississip

We are now West of the ole Mississippi…….The land where Native Americans and cowboys used to roam, where only the brave would wonder. The Mighty Mississippi, The Father of Waters, Old Man River, The Gathering of Waters, and Old Blue. Its name “Mississippi” is derived from the Ojibwe word meaning “Great River”.

Our 4th stop we drove 298 miles to in Springfield Missouri to stay at The Springfield KOA.

This is our second time here and we are on site #47, it was a really nice day the temperature was 82 dgress.

I was really surprised this KOA didn’t participate in any Halloween activities for kids. I guess they don’t need to as they were all booked up.

We drove 298 miles through lots and lots of heavy downpours to get to our fifth destination, Rockwell RV Park in Oklahoma City.

Our site # is 35.

Coming thru this way before we always stayed at Mustang Run, but it was booked so Dave found this place, I’m glad he did.

Pictures of the Buffalo when they were here.

The park has new owners who just purchased it in June. The park used to have about 10 or 12 Buffalos on the property, yes Buffalos! I’m sure it was a big draw but upon talking to the new owners they sold them to an Indian tribe and they are all on the open plans in Wyoming where they belong!
