Last
night before going to bed we once again needed to use our Earplugs to block the noise from the nearby Trains. Knowing that we weren’t traveling anywhere we both managed
to Sleep in while staying warm and
toasty under our Winter Bedsheets.
It was nearly 9:00 before we got up to have breakfast this morning. Knowing
that we couldn’t go anywhere seemed to ease the stress of a typical travel day.

| The Gateway Arch still looked the same today but just no Rain. |
We
enjoyed our second cup of Coffee at
the Computers where I managed to get
caught up on my morning reading as well as checking the Weather Forecasts for not only the St. Louis area but the route we will be
taking to get back to Ontario.
With
no more Rain forecasted for today we
decided to walk from our Trailer to
the Casino where we managed to enjoy their Buffet for lunch. There were plenty of
people coming and going so we just took our time. Kathy suggested we play the
slots for a few minutes so we set our spending limit and started to play. Today
was Kathy’s lucky day so after an hour in the Casino all that entertainment only
cost us a Dollar.
On
our way back to the Casino Queen RV Park there were RVS that had stopped just short of the gate but didn’t seem to
understand the process of paying On-Line
then using the Access Code to drive
in. We were trying to explain it to them when the Security Van pulled up to see it there was a problem. We left him
to deal with helping these folks out. We barely got back inside our Trailer when I noticed a Diesel Pusher driving up and down all
the roads in the Park then starting all over again.
Thinking that the driver didn’t have the sense to look at the Numbers painted on the Asphalt I went up to see if I could
help. Even though this person was registered to a Site he didn’t like it and was trying to find the Perfect Site. ????
That
was the same time our new neighbours Reg and Andrea from the province of Quebec in Canada came outside to talk. We
started exchanging all kinds of information about different things related to RVing and Boondocking in particular. That conversation lasted Five and a Half Hours but could have
gone on longer. It’s hard to end a conversation when you are on the same Wave Length. To say Kathy was a little
upset when I got Home is understandable.
We’ll
be trying to get other things accomplished tomorrow. Thanks for following along, feel free to
leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

You've ever stopped and
used the restroom at a fast-food restaurant but didn't get anything to eat.
Some how missed yesterdays post. At least you made it to a safe pull off and now at the casino. Hope all goes well and maybe some sun will shine on all this
