Arrived at Mansfield, OH

-

 We got here about 4pm. Our usual great overnight spot in a Walmart parking lot. Did some "touch up" shopping in the WalMart and now sitting here sipping a Margherita and watching national news with both AC units running. We'll probably eat in tonight with some sort of frozen dinner from our freezer. We were going to take the Jeep and find a restaurant, but like yesterday, we're beat. A thunderstorm came through with thunder and lightening, but it blew over in about 10 minutes. Tomorrow I think we'll both get showers.

Here is our location

Our 2022 Music Cities Tour On or about June 1, we'll be departing on our Music Cities Tour. Our travels will take us to: St Louis Branson Memphis New Orleans   Nashville We'll also be stopping at many other smaller cities along the way. Most of our itinerary will be made up as we go along.  We'll be over-nighting in "boondocking" fashion, staying  at places of opportunity along the way (Walmarts, etc). We have all the amenities needed to keep us comfortable, including central AC and heat, shower, full size 4-door fridge and a full modern kitchen. We have lots of battery power, an 8500 watt generator, 100 gallons of water and 100 gallons of diesel fuel. We also have satellite TV and cellular broadband data with an internal WiFi network.  We'll stay at a few campgrounds as necessary to empty our holding tanks, re-fill our water tank and do laundry loads bigger than what our on-board washing machine holds. We'll probably also go to a campground for stays long...

We arrived here a little before 3pm local time (4pm Eastern time). Here's a link to our present location. 1000 miles from home and almost 1/2 way across America. We got plugged into AC and cable TV and just chilled for a while. The local Papa John's delivers to camp sites, so we ordered a pizza. Tomorrow we plan to see the famous St Louis arch and then the Anheiser Busch brewery and Clydesdale horse stables. We might also take in the St Louis train station and the nearby Lewis and Clark historic site. Hope to post some good pictures tomorrow. Also planning to get a good local BBQ dinner while here.

Our 2022 Music Cities Motorhome Trip

D-Day Tuesday is "D Day" (Departure Day). Today, we'll do a preliminary food shopping trip and begin to load the motorhome with our clothes and other supplies. Tomorrow, we plan to leave about noon. We'll stop at the Allentown service plaza on the Turnpike to buy enough diesel to get us to Bloomsburg where we can top off the fuel tank at a better price. Our first overnight stop will be at the  Clearfield, PA Walmart where we'll buy whatever we need to continue the trip then on to Mansfield, OH on Wednesday. Our plan is to drive 3 hours or less per day, with our first major destination being St Louis. Once we cross into Ohio, diesel fuel will be over a dollar less expensive per gallon and even less as we get into the heartland and the South, so we'll stop more frequently to top off. We neeed to keep the fuel tank at least 1/2 full so we can run the diesel generator into the night if necessary to keep the AC going. Overall, we'll be out for at least 20 days,...
