October 18th - we are still out here

Been out of touch for some time due to:  1)  being in areas so remote we didn't even have a cellphone signal; 2) RV Park WiFi that is so anemic you can't get on it; 3) racing from place to place.  We should now SLOW DOWN. 4) Operator errors using this new PC...can't get my pages to post.

Since August, when we finally got our truck back, we have been three weeks in KC, a week in Council Grove at the COE Park, a week at Chanute in a sleazy motel while we waited for repairs to the Hitchhiker, four days at Coffeyville for my 50th high school reunion (a hoot!), four days at Tahlequah, OK for a Hitchhiker Rally, five days at Little Rock just doing nothing and another week at West Memphis AR on the banks of the Mississippi watching the tugboats/barges. 

We also spent 10 days at a Corps of Engineers park at Cherryvale and got kicked out during the shutdown.  A local reporter interviewed us, complete with photo, so we have now had our 15 minutes of fame.

One day we went to see Big Brutus,  See  photo.

 

Now the not-so-fun news:  Mike's right cornea (less than a year old) has gone bad and we are on our way back to KC to see about a(nother) transplant.
