Time for an update!

We left Tallahassee and drove for 3 days to finally arrive in Sedalia MO. We had a few problems the first day on the road, the engine was overheating going up hills, so when we arrived in Birmingham AL, we went to the CAT service center and they fixed our problem (which ended up being a dirty radiator).

The next day, we drove to Paducah KY, very nice little campground, the whole group went to eat at the Flamingo Row, a very good restaurant, very unusual food but absolutely delicious.

We finally arrived in Sedalia on Sunday, quite tired but happy to finally park and set up for a few days. We met a lot of friends we had not seen for quite a while, including a couple (Shirlee and Jack) we first met in Mesa AZ two years ago, they are from Riverside CA. It was good to see them again.

Days are busy in a rally, between visiting the vendors (and spending money) and going to educational seminars, days go by very fast.

Today we went with Shirlee and Jack to a local diner, a real landmark in Sedalia, it was built in 1947 and has been serving the famous “Guberburger”; hamburger topped with peanut butter, yes you read right, peanut butter, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo since then. We just had to go try this concoction, unique to Sedalia, and it was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, they will have to permanently close their doors in September, to make way for a wider highway, it is quite a shame.

This afternoon we participated in the “Coach enhancement tour” and opened our coach to visitors so they could admire the changes we made, the feeback was very positive and we met lots of new people that way. It is actually really fun to see what clever ideas people come up with to improve their motorhomes.

The only problem with these rallies is that you end up eating way too much…. but we do cook and eat in the coach once in a while…

Tomorrow we have more seminars to go to and there will be dinner and entertainment tomorrow evening
