Didn't have WiFi at the last campground in Calvert City, Ky. So didn't get any info out. Not much to send. we just drove all day, The Motorhome ran super all day and I got 8.1 MPG on the fill up. Not bad I think.
We left Calvert City at about 0900 and got on the road for St. Louis. Weather was pretty good. Had a couple rain squals, and the wind had calmed down a lot.
Got here in St. Louis at about 1430 and Bob and Dorene were already here as well as his Sister Becky and Husband Rex. Becky cooked us a Wisconsin dinner of Bratwurst, Macaroni salad, Fresh Strawberry and KiWi salad, Corn on the cob they tried to make me believe they picked in Wisconsin before they left. (Didn't believe them much) and a super jello salad. It was sooo good. Ken is probably hungry just thinking of those grilled Bratwurst....
It rained really hard during the night, but none got inside the Motor home. The patter on the roof really puts a guy to sleep....
Plan to go to the Zoo here in St. Louis today. It's supposed to clear up and be nice. It was about 60 here this morning, and supposed to go up to around 70,and no rain in the forcast.
Plan to spend one more day here and leave for parts West on the 16th.
Day before yesterday the Motorhome ran super, got 9.5 MPG at times, and averaged out the day with 8.1 MPG. However, yesterday the Motor started surging like it has done a couple times. I turned off the Cruise, no help, turned off the Over drive, no help,So I just floored it and got up to about 75 and it cleared up and never gave me any more trouble. Also, Had Donnie put on a new fan belt before we left as the old one was squeling. Well the new one is doing it to, so I fear there is something else wrong in there somewhere. Plan to crawl under there and see what I can find..
The campground here is almost in downtown St. Louis. It looks like it was an old parking lot they turned in to a campground. It's all paved, and not very level. Good thing I have good jacks to get it level. Stupid Satellite dish won't work again here. That thing sure has been a pain in the butt since we bought it. I do have the extra stand alone dish I can hook up. See a lot of the rigs have them out. Local Antenna TV isn't to bad, but I can't get my Fox News Channel.
Well, guess that's about it for day 4. Will let you all know how the Zoo went on the next update.
Semper Fi....
