STOP 3: KOA Oak Grove, MO (just outside Kansas CIty)


There was a great storm last night in Indiana with rhythmic rain hitting the roof and helping us sleep. We could leave a little later with the time change working in our favor. 

It was crazy wet and windy, but we had to put things away, so we ended up soaked to the bone.

Roger found Jerry to say goodbye and we were off again.

So we arrived at the KOA early afternoon with plenty of time to set up and chill. 

The mobile data is pretty strong here for AT&T, so the fact that their WIFI is crappy doesn't matter.

It's an otherwise VERY nice KOA. I have not stayed at a "bad" one yet. This one is right next to the freeway. But we will have the vent fan going all night and it should drown out the traffic.  It has cooled off enough to not need the AC.

Roger figured out the water heater and told me all about it, but my old brain can't remember enough to bore you with my vast water heater knowledge. If you have an Alto and really need to know, say so in the comments and I will have him reply.

We got here early so we went shopping. We bought a new very nice pump-out hose and then went to Aldi to get blue cheese stuffed olives (for our fake martinis), tortillas, Balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Oh, and bananas and apples. We had not fresh fruit and we were in need. I had canned pinto beans and we thawed out some chicken breasts from yesterday's farm stop.  We had beans & chicken with the cheese also from Steckler's and today's purchased [corn] tortillas.  With tomato and fresh onion. Hot sauce and we were good to go. Another great meal on the road. By the way, Aldi is weird. It seems somehow soulless. Like a mini costco or something.

Anyhow, I got the awning up right away while Roger was connecting connections. 

Roger was able to fix the bathroom door and with our new septic hose, we are back in happycamperland. 

We had our alcohol-free cocktails in our chairs under the awning and on our Doctor Who themed rug in our little folding chairs.  Our construction site fans kept us cool and bug free. Then I took my much needed shower and we planned the next day.

Tomorrow is a winery/cidery, another Harvest Host spot. Hope they have non-alcohol stuff, too.
