Well, we saw three states, today: Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Not so big a deal when you realize that Route 66 is only about 13 miles long in Kansas. We went through Galena, then found an old bridge. The Route 66 book we have says that we have to take a side trip to cross this bridge. The side trip turned out to be a road about 200 yards long, parallel to 66, and about 50 yards away from it. We swung over and crossed the bridge. Wow. Anyway, it's an arch...

Fantastic buffet and country show in Branson this morning. The musicians and singers were very talented and there was a funny comedian as well. Would highly recommend this show to get a flavor of the area (and I'm not even wild about country music!). The countryside is gorgeous here. Tried to take some pictures of it, but it doesn’t really show you how incredibly beautiful it is. Really every place we’ve been so far has had it’s own charm....

Could be related to the diverticulitus, or the heat and not drinking enough fluids, or a bug.

Stopped at the RV place to get the burners fixed. Good news: turns out the connections had rattled loose, so they reconnected them and didn't even charge. Pretty nice.

And, they think Onan won’t honor the warranty because the other RV place was not a bona fide Onan repair place. Will deal with all this when we get back to CA.Went to the M...

There was thunder and lightening last night. REALLY loud. We were just going to sleep when a particularly loud clap of thunder rang out right above the RV. Thwaap! There was no thought. My hand shot out and grabbed Bill's arm in a vice grip. "Ow," he says. Claims his arm still hurts. I forgot how loud storms can be in the midwest.Pouring rain this morning. We had planned on walking to the Arch, but drove by and took a picture instead. We had to hang out in t...
