Hey it has you passing through KC and over I-70. Are you going to be in a hurry? There are lots of campgrounds around there.

Oh the color is probably "eggplant". ;) :lol:

In a hurry in November, no. A flexible schedule is a better description. I would like to meet some people along the way. I wish I could post a map and let people add themselves or points of interest. That I could go where I am invited.

Ya know if you post that in the National forum it will stay a while on top and perhaps you can get a bunch of "somethings" going.

If you have an interest in Branson Missouri it might not be too cold for it...Course it is Missouri and we do have strange weather here...And Lake Taneycomo has trout fishing, though not like you guys. From there you can cut across to Memphis or ....Well you might want to check out the map for all the fun stuff.

del, secondary hijack,

If you are coming in on I-70, cut off on 435 South to 71 Highway South,
stay on that all the way south to Little Rock, and then I-40 over to Memphis. That will bring you through Carthage, MO; which is about 15-20 minutes from our house. Call when you get close and Miriam and I will swing over and buy you a cup of coffee and swap a few lies.

Hijack off, :lol:

Oooo applying the epoxy upside-down looks like fun.

Good luck.

Would love to take you up on a cup of coffee, does it come with a tour of your trailer?

ps do not worry about hijacks, the whole point of the jelly belly is to get out and see the country and meet the people in it. A goal is also a motivator.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Used blue painters tape just beyond the resin (trim later) and stretched the wrinkles out. Used a paint roller (thanks doug) to spread the resin.

Hi Jack over. 8)

Good idea, maybe I will look over there (there is a first for everything). I am thinking on posting closer to november though.

Met Vic from naches today, do not tell Paul but he has a picture of me (camera did not blow up, amazing). I liked the pics of his teardrop, can not wait to see it finished.

Now is time for my nap, del

Ha typical men. Stop and stay the night in Branson or Carthage (Precious Moments park) and we will bring the TD out to camp too. Now if it is too cold we will start a big fire. We have had days in November with 30 degrees and a hearty wind. There are some TDers in the Lake of the ozarks and Springfield area. We just have to drag them out.. :R And I know we can talk Gary and Trudy out... Just let us know....... ;)

Oh yeah and the original Bass Pro shops is in Springfield...... :twisted:
