We left Assaria Kansas this morning and planned our first stop at the Flying J only about 20 miles from the campground! Flying J's are truck stops that also cater to RV'ers! When we were in Albuquerque last April we found that the Flying J Restaurants have "Sweet Cream Pancakes". They are soooo yummy and I have been thinking about them for months and since we had to go right by there on our way out of town, we stopped and I had some. Boy are they good! I did maintain and not eat the whole plate full but still felt a wee bit guilty after all I've been eating lately. Guess what? They now sell the pancake mix! I'm not sure that's exactly a good thing, but we did buy some to see if tastes as good. I'll let you know...
As we were leaving the campground this morning we found we had no trailer brakes which is not a good thing. But if you are in a place like Kansas that is flat at least you don't have to worry about not being able to stop going downhill!!!! Fortunately it was not broken (like it was one time) and Ted was able to reattach the brake line while we were still at the Flying J. There is so much vibration from the bumpy roads that it had loosened enough to come apart and just hang there! Yikes.
Anyway...we are now in Columbia Missouri for the evening. We found a really nice campground and will think about returning here some time. They are apparently going to get very busy this weekend because it is their homecoming game: the Missouri Tigers versus the Texas Longhorns. They are expecting a lot of Alumni as well as Texans to come stay at the campground for the game. Midwesterners definitely love their football!
And I love sweet cream pancakes..."Ain't Life Grand!"
