We also spent two nights at Downstream Casino (taking advantage of their free water/electric hookups) while we ran errands and visited friends. Funny story...after unhooking the trailer at Downstream, we took the truck into Joplin to get replacement registration stickers (lost in the mail). We've been driving around with what looked like expired tags for months, and here we are ON THE WAY to the liscensing office, and an officer pulls us over. Surely he thought we were full of crap when we said...."we're on our way there!" Anyway, he sent us on our way and new tags are now in place.
We drove by mom's old place in Seneca, looks very different with the new building in front, but nice and clean. I'm sure they are taking good care of the place.
It was also quite lucky timing that our friend Mark's band was playing in a small town in southern Missouri right on our route, so we were able to spend an evening with Felonious Monk. They played at The Tavern at Haven55 in Pineville, and just across the river was Campground at the Falls, so it worked out great. Enjoyed the park, lovely spot overlooking the falls, and the owners were very nice and accommodating. Hard to believe that river overflowed its banks and flooded the campground this year. They also had a very sweet dog who was nursing an injured kitten - very heartwarming story.
Really enjoyed seeing Mark's band and spending time with newlyweds Beth and Mark. Congratulations again, you two. But enough of the lovey lovey kissy kissy. you're making the rest of us jealous! (did I mention, the drummer is hot) Love you guys!
