1st leg of our trip - Carthage Mo Oct 9th 2010

Crueling 150 miles today!! Weather was sunny and a mild 80 degrees. We stopped in Carthage Mo, at the Big Red Barn RV park for a couple of days. Its a Good Sam's park that offers PA discounts. Whopping $15 a day for full hookups. It has been crowded with a motor coach rally going on in the park. Max is almost hoarse from greeting all the other pets in the park. We were put next to the 2 park hosts and have visited about traveling adventures and work camping sagas. Even met Eric who camp hosts at the Longview RV park in Kansas City. A very nice RV park with the best public golf course in KC right next door.





Carthage is a very nice and very clean town of about 14,000
There main claim to fame is the fine Carthage Marble that is mined nearby







Before going sightseeing we stopped for a bite to eat at Iggy's Diner. Wow would not want to clean this place. The inside and out is all chrome. They keep it really polished. So if ya need a job Big Greg........ here's a possibility for ya lol.

More tomorrow since it takes for.......eva...... to upload on this connection.
