Yesterday, we chased a rain storm as we drove to the Big Red Barn RV Park near Carthage, MO.  We had planned on staying there two nights, but because of the repairs, we cut our stay by one night so we could get back on our schedule of being at the FMCA Convention in Indy on July 10th.

Today, we arrived at the Happy Trails RV Park outside Phillipsburg, MO for a couple of nights.  After getting set up, I rinsed the road film off the coach and the Jeep which took up most of the afternoon - I keep forgetting how big the coach is!

For the last two parks, our GPS has given us bad directions.  Fortunately, I have double checked the TL directory and had Shirley use Google Maps to validate the directions on the GPS.  In one case, the GPS had the park located in the center of a cloverleaf interchange, and the other had the park on the other side of the interstate and one mile in the opposite direction.  Ain't technology great?  Not!

The next day we tried to find a bluegrass festival someone in the park said was going on nearby.  We drove around the area, but did not find any signage about it, instead, we stopped at the World's Largest Souvenir Shop an exit or so before where we were staying.  The boast was supported by the huge building filled from wall to wall with "stuff".  They also claimed to have one of Lucille Ball's cars on display.
