Coffee and goodbyes to Ron and Dianne, and the dogs, Rocco and Bud. Rocco is needy and follows (or should I say leads) you everywhere, as if you are his shadow. He forever anticipates where you are going (or tries to), and constantly looks over his shoulder to make sure you are still coming. I must admit I intentionally sent him down the hall a couple of times just for fun, once I saw how his mind worked. The look he then gave me was priceless, 'cause he knew how my mind worked too. Bud, was quite different, one of those long wiener dogs, that has far too much torso, and far too little legs. He is about 130 years old, in people years, but just doesn't know it. Thanks Ron and Dianne, for your hospitality.
Departed Eureka, Mo, and took 70 west, towards Kansas City, Mo. I am heading for Loveland Colorado to visit the Kittel family. I anticipate the trip to Loveland will take three days, and I'll likely be staying overnight in western Kansas tomorrow evening. Saw a road-sign sign saying Nostalgiaville USA, 20 miles. Smiled, and stopped 20 miles ahead, to see all the old stuff. The building was pretty cool, and I had to take some pics. I liked the place because it was just so shamelessly tacky, but very interesting. About 250 miles riding today, in good Missouri weather, and stopped for the night in Blue Springs, Mo (about 20 miles east of Kansas City). No offense to the Blue Springians among you, but if this isn't the middle of nowhere, then it sure has got to be close by. Headin' west in the morning.
