September 4 - 6, 2013 - Missouri Roads 'n Marshfield

Sept 4th - Stayed at this RV park that had no one in the office....the pool was empty....there were a few trailers...no cars...and that was it!  I had to fill out a form, add a check and put it in a drop box!  It seemed odd, but they had full hook-ups so I was happy!   
On the road there...

Haven't seen the dino in ages!

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side!

On the way to pick up Greg...

Love cows...I pulled over on the side of the road, "rolled" down the window and talked "cow" to them and all four of these bitties turned their heads toward me!  Hysterical!

So....a question...is the goat, the pest?  Lol.  Or is he the control?!

Sept 5 - Drove to Marshfield!  Nice place!  We're staying at the Fountain Plaza RV park.  It mostly has permanent motorhomes but in the back section there are a few spaces for traveling RV's.  I pull in, ask one of the residents where the office is and as she's answering, a man rides up on an ATV.   So nice. Told him of our adventure.  He said he'd pray for Greg on his journey.  And he's originally from Queens!  Moved out here with his parents long ago and now he manages the park.  

He also told me that the RV is facing the wrong way and I won't be able to hook up anything!  Lol.  You'd think by now I'd know which side has what!  Unhooked the jeep, pulled the RV out, backed up (yes, you heard it here first folks!  I can back up!) and pulled in properly!!  

Once settled in, I decided to go explore.  Went to the Chamber of Commerce and met this friendly lady who told me that many bicyclists stop there and tent behind the building.   There was a tornado that came through in June and all the bicyclists piled into the building for safety!   She also told me of a great foodstore in town - was she ever right! It's called PriceCutters - I felt like I was shopping at home!

Hometown of Edwin Hubble...
...this is a replica (1/4 size) of the real Hubble Telescope!

As I was driving around town I came across this shop....and had to stop!!

The two ladies there were making these amazing HUGE comforter quilts!  One lady was using this machine that was bigger than my kitchen!  The sewing machine part moved along this bar to stitch the quilt.  They give classes - the next one was to make a wall hanging with chickens!  They showed me the different tools they use and which ones work well for them...great shop!

Sept 6 - Greg was working all day today, so I did paperwork and laundry.  

Also went out to mail some things.  Two doors down was a party store...RSVParty - for Life's Celebrations (love party stores - they're full of fun!)  Met the nicest lady - she thought what Greg was doing was great and as soon as I gave her the info for tracking his riding, she was finding it online!   We talked for a while.  Her husband's from Maryland - thought maybe his town was near Sharptown but they're on opposite sides of the state. She likes traveling east but hadn't been to NY. Told her about the great museums in the city that we've been to with the kids (many, many times!).  And about Robert Moses beaches that we've gone on with the truck camper and stayed overnight.  Absolute heaven (miss our beach). 

She told me that every Friday night they show a movie outdoors in the middle of town, and invited us there!   

 Like this town...
