After leaving the Land Between the Lakes, we were looking for a place to stop overnight going up the east side of Missouri. We finally decided to keep going to Bowling Green. We stayed at the Cozy C campground there, a nice little family owned campground just outside of town. They had a real nice laundry there, so we decided to stay an extra day and catch up the laundry. We even played a couple of rounds of mini golf there at the campground.
Our next stop was our daughter, Sarah's driveway in Desmoines. We enjoyed a few days there visiting both of our daughters' families there. As much as we were enjoying our time there, we were anxious to get back to Sioux City. We had planned on staying in Sioux City for two weeks and head on up to Bismarck, ND for a month. After much discussion we have decided to stay here longer and clean out our old house and put it on the market. We now have a 40' steel shipping container next to the new house that we are going to load our stuff into until Rebecca and her family find a new place or decide to buy our new house and stay there. Sorting out and packing up a house and garage with a 36 year accumulation is going to take some time. It is interesting to find a few forgotten "treasures". It will probably be the first part of August before we head out to Bismarck, but we will hopefully be much more relaxed with the decisions having been made and the work done.
We have been fixing a few things at the new house and the well driller finished the new well. It is taking longer than they expected for the water to clear up but the well guy thinks it will clear up this week. I am planning to install a 50 amp rv outlet there so we can park there when we are in town. I am leaning toward getting a macerator pump to pump the rv waste tanks through a small hose vs installing a sewer line across the yard for a drain.
