Springfield, MISSOURI

 We had a good, relatively uneventful drive out here.

The new car is very comfy.

But either the people out here can't drive,

or they don't care for Ford Escapes.

THREE different drivers nearly took off our

bumper as they were passing.

Practically clipped it right off....

Sheesh.

But, we got here to the Angler's Lodge across from

the Bass Pro Shops. (Same as in November...)

And five minutes after we got here...

Not bad considering he drove for 18 hours and

we both arrived at nearly the same time!

We stopped at a rest area in Kansas...

never stopped here before.

They had cool buffalo heads on the wall...

I didn't get a great picture...

There was a guy standing right there and I didn't want him to

think I was taking a picture of him... lol.

Look where we turned!!!

Once we got here, we walked up the street to a 

burger joint called Braums.

And saw some of the locals...

This morning after breakfast in the hotel lobby,

we headed to the Vital Farms meeting.

It was good! They upgraded their presentation and

I felt like we got lots of answers to questions.

But it was COOOOOOLD in there!

Then it was back to the hotel so I could teach.

The guys went across the street to Bass Pro to check out

the gun museum and then back across the street to a pool/bar

and played a couple games of pool.

Now that I'm done teaching, we are going back to Braums 

for a milk shake and then it's bed, because

we all have to head home again in the morning.

So.......

it was quick, but FUN, and we got a lot accomplished.

NITE!
