Well, we finally got going Tuesday, July 12. Picked up the motorhome in the morning, waiting about 1 1/2 hours to get the paperwork completed, and then brought it back to pack. While we were packing, the refrigerator quit working (the subject of the past 8 days in the shop, so we finished packing it, called the shop, and took it back in. Finally at about 4:30 we were on our way.
We drove to Remington, Indiana, and stayed in a very nice campground there just off the interstate. It was the Caboose Lake campground, or something like that.
Today we drove, and drove, and drove. About 8 hours total. Really did not have to do that much, but we both felt like it and were pretty pumped up for the Branson rally. We pulled into a rest area about 3:00 and Terry changed the fuel filter again. We had a problem with the fuel filter weeks ago, changed it, and drove about another 500 miles before it started clogging again. This time it went about 1,000 miles before needing changing. So it definitely is getting better and we hope it is filtering out whatever caused the original problem. Don't want to think about dropping the gas tank on the Damon. I sure am glad he decided to change it when he did as it was my turn to drive and we were in the hills. A clogged fuel filter is no fun in the hills and would have found us off to the side on the interstate.
We drove on to Waynesville, Missouri, about 100 miles from Branson. Decided to quit about 5:00. It was a long day of driving and we will have a short 2+ hours tomorrow. Our site for tomorrow is already waiting on us, reserved and paid for, so we don't have to be in a hurry.
Don't know if we will take in any shows. Do plan to ride the "Ducks" on Table Rock Lake, the amphibious tank/boats. We have a cookout for Friday put on by the campground and a pitch on Saturday.
Sunday then we leave for South Dakota.
Till next time . . .
