So easy

It is so easy to get behind! Tuesday night we stayed with Eugene and Naoma Pratt, Magnolia park friends who live in the U.P. Oh we wish all our friends places were as easy to get to as theirs is with a horseshoe drive and right on the highway. It was very easy to pull in and out with our MoHo. We had a great visit and got the grand tour of their very interesting place.

These two were taken at a rest stop on the U.P.

It actually has 3 but we chose the one easiest to find and get in and out of and it worked out well. We called for a shuttle to the casino. Won't do that again! Many casinos will tease you along with a tiny little win now and then. Not this one!. It was all take and no give. We should have had a clue because it was not a busy place at all. We did have a decent meal and that was the best value of the casino. Once again we were on the road bright and early for the last leg of our journey. We know we needed fuel at some point and we had been in need of propane for a few weeks so we were on the lookout for both. That ended up being the theme for the day. Butch has a "thing" about looking for the cheapest fuel and this time it was nearly our undoing. One thing you do not want to do is run out of fuel on a diesel engine. Priming them is a major pain as I understand it. So it was a close call and we ended up paying too much in Butch's opinion ($3.15 per gallon) so he only partially filled up meaning we continued our hunt further down the road for a cheaper price. It changes the trip when you are in constant search for something as mundane but important as fuel. We found  propane at Williams Iowa Flying J. Flying J is not nearly the RVers friend as it used to be but it does have what we need from its past friendliness so we stopped because we know they sell propane. Fuel prices were too high thus resuming our search and stop at Cameron where we purchased the bio-diesel for $2.99 a gallon. Too many stops!! Then we stopped at Boone to visit the kids and enjoyed a delicious chili supper finally getting to Jefferson just before dark. We settled into our spot at Leo and Keri's where we will be for the next week. Phew!! It feels good to be caught up!! Till next time...
