Eminence, Missouri, So Many Fresh Water Springs

by

Eminence is in the center of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. It’s one of the nation’s first protected waterways. The park encompasses the Current and Jacks Fork rivers. These rivers are known for their clear, calm and cool water which is ideal for swimming, fishing, paddling and tubing. Eminence is a small town, less than 600 people live here. The post office was established in 1844. We knew this because we needed it to mail our taxes on time.

Amarillo, Texas after Nappanee Motorhome Repairs

by

Amarillo, Texas was a 1,200 mile drive across central United States from Nappanee, Indiana. Our goal was to avoid active early spring storms, so we ended up driving longer distances than usual to avoid bad weather. We wanted to visit family in Amarillo, but because of the worsening COVID-19 pandemic and increasing restrictions, we decided against it considering that 20-80% of those infected have none to only mild symptoms making it difficult to know if we were infected. We will try again the next time we are in the area.
