Springfield, MO - 3,820 Miles

Seven's beautiful sister lives in Springfield with her two daughters that attend Drury University. Kristen lives in a nice subdivision that has narrow streets that wind up and down hills. We decided to spend the first night at Camp Wally near I-44 and MO-13 that was temporary home to about 10 RVs and 5 trucks. The next morning we were going to move to a place near Kristen's house that was probably the most level 50 feet of roadway in the subdivision. We checked with the neighbors of course.

The first night we hustled over the Missouri University (we still think of it as SW Missouri State University) to watch one of our former neighbor's daughters play in a soccer match against Indiana State University. It was fun and free. It was good seeing the neighbors again and their beautiful and talented daughter who was a fullback for the Lady Bears.

The toad is having problems keeping air in two tires and I went over to Wal-Mart to get them check and repaired if necessary. Then there was the shock: lug nut locks and no tool with which to unlock them. Bummer. I spent all day trying to find someone or something to unlock them with. Wal-Mart had a set of unlocking tools but guess which size was missing? Double bummer.

Another night here and then we take off for Branson. We will probably spend a day or two there and then head for Little Rock to see what all that money Slick Willy got for pardons bought.
