After a 12-day, 2300 mile road trip we are all under the same roof again for a couple of days. Jamuna survived and enjoyed music camp. Abe, Maya and I spent several days in Arkansas and Missouri (Branson) with Amachi and Apachin. After leaving Branson, Abe, Maya and I drove to Ottawa, KS, to watch the SE final concert and load up Jamuna and Maya L. for the long trek home. We stopped at a motel near St. Joseph, MO, for about six hours of sleep. Thankfully we made it home safely.
After I dropped Jamuna and Maya L. off at SE, I hung around for a day then drove to Roaring River State Park near Cassville, MO. I was lucky to get the absolute last site available. This is not a place for peace and quiet but I did enjoy the experience. There were evening programs by park naturalists of which I was able to attend two - one on spiders and one about snakes. I rented a fly rod outfit, bought a license and tried my hand at fishing. The fishing was fun but the catching, well, was not very productive. It was HOT and HUMID, day and night. It rained quite a bit the first night I was there. This was the same night the flash flooding occurred in west central AR that resulted in the catastrophic deaths of many campers there.
Today we are starting the process of picking and choosing what to take with us to Aspen, CO, where we will be most of the summer. What a place to be stuck for two months!
