Moberly, MO "The Magic City"

We have stopped for a couple of days staying at Thompson Campground, part of Rothwell Park, in Moberly, MO, to visit Barbie's nephew Wally.

Moberly is the product of an 1866 railroad auction. The Chariton and Randolph Railroad connected with the North Missouri Railroad Company here. With the coming of the Wabash Railroad Shops in 1873, Moberly seemed to spring from the prairie overnight, and was subsequently dubbed "The Magic City."

From here we'll leave on Tuesday morning on our last leg to Oconto, WI for the summer.
