Somewhere in Missouri!

We left Branson this morning. Got about 100 miles up the road toward Kansas City, Missouri, and the fuel filter clogged again. We were in Carthage, Missouri, so found a good place to stop and change the filter. Drove on up 71 only to have more problems about 45 miles further. Terry has decided that the problem is now the fuel pump, not the fuel filters we have been changing. It does help to change the fuel filters, but he thinks it is because it cools down when we are changing the filter.

We drove another 3 miles or so and are in a campground north of Rock Hill, Missouri. Since it is Sunday, we didn’t want to take a chance on getting a tow. We really think that tomorrow we will be able to drive it perhaps into Kansas City where there is an RV Service Center. If not, we should at least get a little further and Good Sam can take it from there.

Just worried about getting it fixed in a timely manner. If we don’t, we will probably head home and try to get to South Dakota later in the summer.

Till next time. . . .
