We found a spot online on the outskirts of Kansas City that looked good in the photos. Well, we’ve all had that experience of going somewhere based on photos from several decades back. Not only was it dreary and crowded, but the check-out time was noon. Campgrounds are generally 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. This owner claimed that much of their business is people, like us, going to the Truman Library in Independence. It is about twenty minutes away and opens at 9:00 in the morning. So if one is there when the library opens, one has about two hours for one’s looksee and then one must head back, hook up, and head out of the park before one’s camper turns to a pumpkin at 12:00 sharp. The owner made it clear there would be no fudging. Like she didn’t have twenty other empty spots and had a line of campers waiting to get in at noon. Right.
