We are hoping to get area Podders to a mini gathering north of Kansas City over Labor Day weekend.  Doc Tom is checking on sites.  Anyone interested?

Pershing State Park is nice and quiet but only has 38 sites, on US 36 about 1 3/4 hrs. from KC and probably about the same for drdrew. Don't how long for you Hawkeye's. A little further east is Long Branch State Park with 72 sites and the lake, just outside of Macon, MO. Never been there though, but still in the center of everyone.

Kansas City is about 3 hours from us, but that is ok.  We make the trip for the Chiefs and the Royals, so we can make it for Podders!  I do mean Labor Day, but we hope to come down and meet some of you before then!  We want to go back to Weston when the weather clears up.  I love the live Irish music at O'Malleys.

Oh, as to the location, we will leave that to you in the area.  Doc Tom has a few ideas too.

Lots of other possibilities also:
Public Campgrounds:
Watkins Mill State Park (near Kearney, MO)
Weston Bend State Park (near Weston)
Smithville Lake (near Smithville - Clay County Parks)
Lake Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake (near Blue Springs - just East of KC - Flemming Park, Jackson County Parks)
 
Private campgrounds:
Pony Express RV Park (between Cameron and St Joseph, MO)
Trailside RV Park (Grain Valley, MO - Right on I-70, not very peaceful)
 
The main negative is that it is a holiday weekend and reservations, while they can be made 6 months in advance - coming up next week - are limited in the state parks.

The final choice is Weston Bend State Park, near Weston, MO (just north of KC off I-29), for the Labor Day weekend. If you care to be there, reservations are open as of today for a limited # of sites. Several sites are available on a first come-first served basis. This is the link to the park. Reservations may be made online.
 
It will be a beautiful, early fall, Missouri weekend.

You have so many beautiful options right close to home in Georgia. How soon will you be able to get on the road again? It snowed a bit here last night and is supposed to be below freezing for a couple of more nights before it warms again. 70's one week, 20's and 30's the next. I've had my 177 out once this spring, but it is back in storage for another couple of weeks for certain.
