Got to Kansas City and found an awesome park north of KC that is right on the money — in the hills, on a lake, in the middle of nowhere, can hear nothing but the birds, the water and the occasional plane flying overhead from the local airport. Set up camp the real way for the first time in six days because the cold and snow kept us from doing so in the Northeast. It's 55 degrees here, and when compared to the 12s an 22s we were consistently in for the last week, this feels like a heat wave. Under blue skies, I hooked up the AC, the H2O and the septic. Lit the grill, marinated some rib eyes, cold beer, stars in the sky without a city light to shine from the ground. Yes, this is RVin'. Plenty of acreage, room to view, listen and smell. You can't even hear the electrickery from here if you tried. This is part of what's so cool about this kind of livin'. See the land, see the horizon, bang a drum and hear it echo, listen to the geese quack back to your beat, watch a basketball game from a friend's alma mater, bet 50 bucks on the other team just so I can give him sh-- throughout the game. Take my time, take our time. Gotta take it to give it. It's beautiful here.
