Wanda was up at 4:30 a.m. getting things ready to head out to California. I was a little later (about 3 1/2 hours to be exact, 8:00a.m.). We wanted to be out of Branson View Campground by noon because that was when the snow was supposed to hit. We had to back out of the lot and thru several other sites due to the ice and snow, Charlie (the canpground manager) said he'd never seen anyone do that before, I said "you have now". We had some problems getting the car on the dollie, but with the help of Charlie, we got on the road at 2:00 p.m. The skies were cloudy and the temp was 26 degrees.
We had run out of propane the night before so we stopped and filled up at Sams RV, then on to Springfield, MO where we filled up with gas. It started snowing just as we pulled into Springfield. We turned onto I44 at 3:34 and arrived at the KOA in Joplin, MO at 5:30 where we decided to stop for the night.
It stopped snowing just west of Springfield and temp was 33 degrees when we got to Joplin. The folks at the Joplin KOA were downright friendly. Now we're setup and ready for a little TV then sleep. More tomorrow as we make our way to Hemet, Calif.
