2012-07-17 Pershing State Park, Leclede, Mo

We planned on leaving KC by 9am and driving to Mark Twain Lake COE

outside of Hannibal, Mo

When we tried to being the slides in they did not move

I knew that we needed to replace the RV batteries soon and I had not gotten to it during our month in KC

When I retired a good friend gave me a Very high quality jump start kit

(Thanks Mike Morton)

It worked perfectly to get the slides in

Spent the next couple of hours getting the correct batteries and

finally we were on our way

We stopped at Pershing state park

Years ago, we visited many times when my children's grandparents Walter & Louise would camp here

Walter was from Brookfield and Louise was from Chilocothe and they stayed here often while visiting family

The temperature was 104F when we arrived. I guess the weather kept the campers away because we had the campground all to ourselves.

The next morning we no more than pulled out of our site when the truck dinged and said we were out of fuel

Huh?! I would swear we had 3/4 tank when we parked

I called Good Sams to deliver some fuel. Surprise Surprise! When I started the truck it showed a full tank of fuel. Gonna have to get that looked at.

All I can figure is I have a loose or nicked wire to the fuel sensor

Probably happened when they pulled the cab off to rebuild the engine.

We are now on our way to visit Hannibal and Mark Twain
