Totally agree about not having a repeat of the 2019 winter/spring weather pattern. It did challenge you to get to our KC Get-Together, and we were exceptionally water-logged in MO much too long!

.... in January of this year weather patterns began to form that brought major flooding .... as a result, we had to make major changes in our route out there .. .. sure hope that we don't run into any issues like that again ....

the impact on us was a matter of inconvenience but friends throughout the affected area tell us that it will take many years to clean up all of the damage .... the sheer size of the affected area is mind blowing

received the pictures below earlier today .. .. they were taken this morning in Estelline .. .. they serve as a vivid reminder of why we don't leave home and head in that direction this time of year ....

one reason I don"t miss S.D.

More snow there than at RR house.

I was in SD in September.

Hey that rig looks familiar.

familiar indeed .... a most impressive set of stickers .... I enjoy looking at a road worthy rig and yours most certainly is

Hope we see more of that rig in 2020.

absolutely .... wouldn't it be great to be setup in the same campground so as to be able to spend some time chatting around a fire

what better thing to do on a rainy day sitting in our camper than to plan our next trip .. .. accordingly post one in this thread has been modified and updated

I’ve planned a lot of trips while on a trip. It just seems natural.

it works for us .... I'm curious, where is the rest area you took the picture of the statue of the Sioux woman .. .. if you happen to be out and about in the area of Kansas City on August 18 - 21, a group of us from the forum plan to have a gathering and spend a couple of days on two different firing ranges .... we had a great time out there last year

This is one of my favorite rest areas. There may be a Lewis and Clark Expedition in my teardrop one day. Places like this rest area sure is encouraging such thoughts.

over the years we've talked about taking a trip based on the Lewis and Clark Expedition ... doing so isn't a minor undertaking ... one of the best itineraries we've seen can be found at this link ====> http://lewisandclarktrail.com/trailadve ... fguide.htm
