DAY 1 – Sunday Jan 2 -- Trip to Mustang Island 2011


Well Howdy Folks.

Our "New" adventure has begun. This year (2011) we're heading to Mustang Island (N. Padre) down by Corpus Christi, Tx. It's gonna be a fun time. Come ride along with us as we venture along the way. We'll be passing through Joplin, Mo; Tulsa, Ok; OKC, Ok; Ft. Worth, Tx; Austin, Tx; San Antonio, Tx; Corpus Christi, Tx; and our final destination of Port Aransas, Tx.

-----------------------------------------------------------

We wanted to leave, for Mustang Island, at noon today. We left Branson View at 1:12 p.m. We stopped in Branson West to fill up with gas, then headed out to Joplin. We arrived at the Down Stream Casino (where we decided to take advantage of a free night’s camping) at 4:15 p.m. We had made arrangements to meet our friends (John & Peggy Danner) at the Casino for supper. We had about an hour before John got off work so we spent some time in the Hotel Lobby, enjoying the lovely Fireplace. John and Peggy used to work at Silver Dollar City (John, in the parking lot with JW, & Peggy, in Finance with Wanda.) We enjoyed good food and fellowship with them. Peggy was very gracious and brought us some drinking water because we found that the water in our “fresh water tank” was rusty, so could not be used for drinking. Peggy took us back to our Motor Home about 9:30 and we turned in early for a good night’s sleep before continuing our journey to Oklahoma City for a visit to the Capitol.
