Rocky River Resort RV Park
Cloudy skies with rain looming in the distance….
We love old bridges like trains out in the wild. Missouri has some REALLY neat old bridges.
Some a bit narrower than we would have liked…but…..slow and steady over these things!!!
The smooth rolling roads out of the Ozarks, through the back country of Missouri, always gives us an appreciation of what we have…we saw a lot of this…..and that…..We get a bit sad when we are so fortunate, and others are not. Life is life and we can’t change the world…
Water levels are SO low everywhere we’ve been. Sad to see when we know water is such an important part of life, especially in many of the HUGE recreation areas we’ve been through or stayed at. Everyone has told us about the drought in their area and it’s pretty obvious.
Mother Nature sure didn’t give us a break for most of the day – what started off as a light rain, quickly turned into pouring – but hey – these areas have been begging for rain and they got it ---------- So………we pull into our site and it’s just yuck – mush, squish, uggggg!!! We quickly change into our “camp shoes” to get set up. Talking with the camp manager, they had 3 straight days of rain before we arrived…..well…..yeah….we could tell – LOL!!
This “not so much of a resort” was fine as a one night stop. A planned stop specifically in this little tiny town of Doniphan, was special to us. Donna’s Dad, RAdm. Doniphan Shelton, grew up in Springfield, MO – before he was honored enough to be accepted to the Naval Academy. Cheers to you Dad!!!
