High Life.....

Cozied up in front of the world series game 7 after a day of KC touring. My uncle Wayne took the day off to take us to lunch and show us a few local sights. One stop was the renovated Union Station which is referred to as the "gem" attraction in the city. In addition to the principal purpose of train depot, there is now exclusive restaurants, children's science museum, cinema and shopping inside. A special bug exhibit currently underway.....explaining the below giant bees. Notice the crown.....everything is Royals, even giant bugs.

After a couple of KC days, will be back on the road tomorrow. Appr 650 miles from Hemphill Texas which will be our hangout locations for a few months.
Coach has been resupplied....ready to roll.
 
Thank you to Wayne and Pat for being such gracious hosts. From smoked ribs and game 6 on Tuesday night, to the city tour today which included exclusive banjo playing courtesy of my uncle.
 
Road Rash......
 
Yesterday was spent doing some further maintenance. This time not to the motorhome, but to our tow vehicle. Sue and I had been noticing a loud rumble from the rear during our Little Big Horn visit. My suspicion of a rear bearing was confirmed. Replaced and all is quiet again. Sure did not want a bad bearing seizing up while in tow. Probably would not have known there was a problem until we saw the smoke rolling from burning tire rubber.

  1. Never good to hear a strange noise coming from the coach or the toad. You are wise to fix it right away. Gives peace of mind. Safe travels. I'll be very interested in your Texas winter for making future plans.
