Kansas City for 9 days
We arrived in the Kansas City area on Saturday evening, about 8PM. The thermometer on the car read 101, however, the humidity was not as high as St. Louis. Actually, the temperature was tolerable because the sun was not bearing down on us. After dropping off the Envoy that Betty drove from St. Louis, loaded with plants and pictures, we drove to Merriam KS to the Walnut Grove RV Park where we will be staying for 9 days.
Walnut Grove is the only in-town RV park in Metro KC and is located just off of I-35. It dates from 1933, and used to be a mobile home park. Today, all the mobiles have been removed and the park has 54 RV spaces with full hookups and 30 or 50 Amp sites. It is a typical in-town park with close neighbors on all sides. The pull-through spaces are narrow, but longer. Ours is a back in space with a greater width that accommodates our slide outs better. The daily rate is $27. No discounts are available. Wireless internet is included, so we have the LUXURY of not searching for a hook up somewhere. Another benefit is that it we are really close to most things. Downtown KCMO, riverboat gambling (we don't) is 15 minutes. Independence is about 30 minutes. Our old stomping ground at Lees Summit (Lakewood) is about 40 minutes. Overland Park, Shawnee Mission, Prairie Village are all next door. And of course, that GREAT Kansas City BBQ.
We will be here for several days seeing our friend through the receipt of her furniture and personal belongings. She prefers to do the unpacking however long it takes so that she can organize her things and know where everything is. Can't say we blame her at all, having just moved ourselves about a year ago. We will visit former neighbors while here then decide just where we will go next. All we know for now is that we have an appointment at the Excel factory in Smith Center on August 28th, unless I can get the date moved up due to a cancellation. Our intention is to be back in Colorado by the first week of September for my mother's 95th birthday.
More at a later date. That's if for now.
