Sedalia, MO, and the Airstream Rally - 2012

We arrived in Sedalia, MO, last night and parked at the rally site this morning.  The Missouri State Fairgrounds seems to have all the amenities we could wish for.  Larry is off on his bicycle to check things out and I'm enjoying WiFi.  Life is good.

Our trip East was uneventful, just the way we like it.  The first night was spent just west of Wells, NV, in a Passport America campground and we immediately spotted another Airstream in the park.  It was Barry and Shirley Williams, heading home after two caravans:  Civil War Pt. 2 and Springtime in Kentucky.  It was also our 40th anniversary, so they helped us celebrate with several games of Joker and a lot of visiting and catching-up.

The overnight stay Tuesday was in Wilber, Nebraska.  It claims to be the Czech Capital of the Nebraska and the U.S.  It seemed to me that it's more Czech than the real Czech Republic.  Larry needed to make a withdrawal at the ATM and we stepped inside a meat market that also sold Kolache.
And, I bought an authentic Czech cookbook, made and sold by the locals (all of whom have authentic Czech surnames).

The American Legion runs the campground, as well as several athletic fields.  Tuesday was a baseball game and it seemed as if the entire town turned out to cheer them on.  In spite of it all, we were undisturbed.
