You have heard me say that rv-ers of the full-time variety often have plans written in Jell-o....meaning the plans aren't set, they jiggle and may change any time.
We left Hannibal by way scenic route 79, headed for Hermann, MO. About 15-20 miles down the road we said to one another "how about going to the Fair? to Sedalia? Gary and Evelyn are there."
I got out the Missouri map, set the GPS, and off we went west.
We went through parts of Missouri this morning that we had never been through.
We called Gary and Evelyn to ask about available sites at their campground. Thankfully there was a site available.
We arrived mid-afternoon, had a time of catching-up and visiting. Then off to an early supper.
With Gary driving we toured the historical area of Sedalia. The main street is lined with big maples and other trees. The old buildings have been carefully kept up. There is a big hotel, the "old" library built of stone is being updated, a huge Catholic church and other buildings.
From downtown we went four miles north to the Bothwell Lodge, a huge stone home for the Bothwell family. The farm and lodge building was given to the state in the early 1970's, and became a state historical site. There are tours during the day time hours.
Hope you have had a great week end.
Sedalia is a beautiful old town. We always have our Blacksmith conference there in May. We were going to go to the State Fair today, but now it's raining. Maybe tomorrow.
