Oconto, WI

We are currently parked at the Oconto Yacht Club in Oconto, WI. The idea of staying here at the yacht club for the summer was a great idea, but may not be very feasible. The next few days will tell. We still have our seasonal space reserved at Holtwood Campground here in Oconto.

I've already started making contacts with local people to help us with our renovation project on our boat, the Shangri-La.

Paw Paw, IL

We had a nice visit in Moberly, MO the last couple of days. This morning started out great getting on the road by 8:30. Stopped in Minonk, IL for a late lunch and took on 62 gallons of diesel costing $190.87. We've stopped for the night in Paw Paw, IL to get some rest after driving 324 miles today. One more day on the road and we'll reach our summer destination in Oconto, WI.

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.

Concorida, MO

We got on the road around 8:30 this morning heading to Moberly, MO to visit family. After driving 400 miles, we stopped for the night in the small town of Concorida, MO, home of Space Craft Manufacturing. They manufacture custom built RVs. Also just to the south of us is Whiteman AFB, home of the 509th Bomb Wing. The 509th files the B-2 Stealth Bomber. In 1947, the 509th Bomb Group was based at the Roswell Army Airfield in Roswell, NM, where the alleged recovery of extra-terrestrial (alien) debris, including corpses, from an object which crashed near Roswell on, or around July 8th, 1947.

OKC Day 2

We got the services done today on the motorhome, all vehicle registrations updated for the year, and my Class-A CDL renewed for another 4 years. Oil and filter change on the motorhome engine and generator set us back $500. Tomorrow we take as much as we can out of our local storage, stock up at Sam's Club, have dinner with my sister, then head north early Saturday morning.
