on to Six-State Area Rally, AKA South Central FMCA

We had only two days between the Escapade and the SRA in Shawnee, OK, so we had to boogie. Traveled the first day thru Joplin, MO. Nancy and I, along with two other Gateway Getaways couples, volunteered there for a week after the tornado last year. We worked with a wonderful person named Ben Tarpley, who is STILL there, working to help people recover. He runs a non-profit called Hammers and Hearts
If ever there was a selfless person, Ben is it. Check out his organization!

Next, a visit to the Downstream Casino, just across the border in OK. They have a brand new RV campground, full hookups, and if u sign up for a "frequent gambler" card, the first night of camping is FREE! That, I like! 

Tomorrow, Shawnee, Olahoma!
