We're here!

Yes, we're finally here. We arrived one day late, which really sucked, but the oil leak in the van suddenly got lots worse once set out from Joplin. We had to stop a bazillion times to buy yet another quart of oil, put it in, and then let the engine cool to a reasonable temperature. Insanity, I tell you. We got to the fair a mere two hours before it opened on Sunday. We were tired and cranky all day, and the rain made it almost unbearable. The COLD rain. I'd forgotten how chilly it can get here at this time of year. In any case, we survived, and we made it to the fair. That's all that counts.

We're staying in a Super 8 for the week. It's very odd not to be living in the campground. The health department did shut it down, which was probably for the best, but it feels sort of like losing home. Everyone seems a little lost. However, I'm not really complaining. I have a shower, heater, and internet access. Why complain?

Still, I smell drama on the wind. Everyone is pissed about the campground, and I don't blame them. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Yay! I am glad you got there safely (even if the car was behaving badly)! :) I hope the campground situation clears soon, perhaps if the owners change stuff according to the health department it'll get opened again soon. Though shower, heater and (most of all, since my elves and I are egoistical) internet are hard to beat! :) Hugs!

Thank you! I'm so glad to be here finally. Don't know what's going to happen with the campsite, but I have a feeling they won't fix it this year. It's disappointing, but not earth shattering. We'll live. :)

And...liking the internet isn't egotistical, just natural! :P Just my humble opinion.
