Overnighting at the Walmart in Poplar Bluff was interesting. I slept pretty good, even with all the noise. The kids there have a lot of loud, although they are just loud, not strong, sounding V8's. I didn't hear one rice burner wind out. There was a lot of tire squealing, but again, it all sounded like something from anemic V8's. I walked over to Hardee's and had breakfast. When I bit down on a tater tot I thought there was a piece of bone in it that jambed between one of my teeth and my gum. It wasn't a piece of bone, I broke a tooth. It must be one that had had a root canal because it doesn't hurt. The piece that broke off is quite large and still attached to the gum. After we meet the folks this morning one of my top priorities will be to find a dentist.
The couple who run Logan Valley were in Chicago for the weekend. There is a young couple here who are just starting as permanent staff. Between us we were able to find a temporary parking spot for the RV and get us plugged in to the electricity. We still have plenty of water/sewer capacity so we weren't didn't need those hook-ups yet.
We walked around and looked over the facility yesterday. We didn't find one locked door. We also walked down the dirt road that leads to the facility to get a better feel for the area.
View looking almost straight ahead from our RV.
View looking to the right. The dark colored building in the distance are one of the kitchen/dining facilities and one of the housing units.
Standing out by the road looking back at our RV. The front part of the building on the left is a two story housing unit while the back is more of an auditorium. There is some type of home in the trees behind us, and not that far from us. We have seen a vehicle go up a drive to the right of us and while sitting outside we heard some activity. Not a think is visible.
Down the road aways is a nice creek with a very interesting rocky/sandy area beside it. The water is clear so it is difficult to judge depths. My guess is that the deepest part we saw was only about 4' deep. The young man who helped us get set up said that is had bee dry here, but the grass still looks green so I don't think it has been really dry.
Just finished my breakfast of ham and eggs and Kathy just got up and made herself a cup of tea. Time for another cup of coffee and then another day of adventure.
The day was beautiful here yesterday, and it looks like it will be today. Yesterday the high ws near 80 but it never felt hot, there was a nice breeze. It is 49 right now. With all the windows open during the night it was right chilly when I got out of bed this morning.
Good morning to all and may God bless you and yours on this wonderful day.
