September 18-28, 2013 in Sedalia, Missouri



September 18 – 23, 2013

We are in Sedalia, MO for the SMART National Muster. We are staying at the Sedalia Fairgrounds, which has something like 400 full hook up sites with 30/50amp, then another 200 with just 30amp. Because we wanted to park close to our Diamond Chapter Friends, we are in a 30amp spot. It is still pretty warm, so will see how this works as far as the a/c is concerned.

There are lots of RV related vendors here and Phil has become a fan of a Mor-Ride system that has no axels, each wheel is individually supported by welding and has it’s own suspension system. Suppose to be an easier ride. He wants to put them on the rig and the dulies on the truck. Cha-Ching!!!!!!

September 23 – 28, 2013

We pulled out of the fairgrounds and into the parking lot across the street to wait out turn to park for the Missouri State Samboree, which is to be held in the same place as the SMART Muster was. So today was pretty much a wash out as we waited our turn. But we did get a 50amp site this time, so that was an improvement!

Tom and Sandy and Phil and I took one day and drove around Sedalia. Most of Kansas and Missouri are still very active with trains, although now they are mostly freight trains and not passenger. So, we went to see the old train depot, and then took a ride to the old downtown area and walked around the courthouse area for a little bit. We were glad to see that most of the space in the old downtown area is occupied and not all boarded up like we see in a lot of small towns.
