Gateway To The West

The drive from Memphis was an easy trip. We arrived at our campground and set up in record time. The temperature in St. Louis was just as hot as Memphis, 100. We were here only a short time when I noticed our back A/C was not working. Chris and I checked breakers and could find no problem so we called Tech Support at Lazydays, where we bought our coach, and left a message. As he was calling back, Chris noticed we had no power to the plugs in our kitchen slide-out. This is now a bigger problem.

100 degrees outside, only one A/C, and half the power out, OH NO and only one week into our trip........HELP........After much trouble shooting and no positive results, our tech suggested unplugging from the campground power and starting our generator. This way we could see if we still had the problem. We Didn't! So back to the office to report to them that they had a problem with the electric hook up. They changed out the 50 amp plug and we tried again. So I'm inside waiting for the A/C unit to kick on when David calls and there is a problem with the alarm system at home.........NO POWER.........I Hate Electricity!

Everything settles down and evening is setting in when Chris, while sitting outside, notices this pick up truck circling around the campground. It pulls in across the large lawn facing us and parks. (He is sure they are casing out the joint.) The office was closed and Chris thought we should call the Sheriff if we could not find an after hours number. (He was ready to call 911!) A few minutes later Chris opens the door and says "Don't Do Anything!....... Our big threat was a family tenting with 5 children! OK Chris Chill Out!!!!!!!!

Today we traveled into the city to see the ARCH. What an architectural wonder that is. Afterwords we visited Grants Farm owned by Anheuser-Busch. These beautiful grounds house many wildlife animals as well as the majestic Clydesdale Horses. I drank my first beer a Budweiser Lime. This farm was once plowed and planted by President Ulysses S. Grant. His cabin is still located on the farm. So enough of the adventures!

Tomorrow we are off the Kansas City, MO and hopefully cooler weather.
