The weather on this trip was beautiful this year. No threats of tornados or rain. We were told that the weather in MO was great this year, in the 80's and 85's. After our last trip a couple of years ago, we though sure. But it was great weather straight through. Glad we made the trip.
In our travels to MO we saw seveal indian casino's with RV parks. They were beautifully built, several thousands of dollars to build these. We didn't stop this trip but perhaps next trip we will stay at the RV park which is now owned by KOA. Their buffets in the casino's are usually pretty good. Of course we next win anything, but it is still fun.
This summer we went to MO to meet up with our friends from AL. Sallislaw, OK is on the way, we stayed at an RV park there and drove around Sallislaw, as this is where Jerry's Mom and Dad lived when they were small childen. This truck back memories to his mom, it has on the side, "Bakersfield or bust".
We have never seen such a variety of birds and all at one time. We have hours of enjoyment just watching them come and go into what we now call our yard the bird sanctuary. They love the food and water and sprinklers provided. 
The red cardinals love the Barker bird sanctuary. We get hours of enjoyment watching and listening to them make their bird calls and chase each other out of the yard and the trees
