Still heading west, check out Colaw RV parts again, but it was a cooler overcast drizzly day.

Where are we today ?

Flying J Joplin Missouri

          Had another great night and we were gonna leave early this morning but really in no hurry. Sun came  up but the fog rolled in. So we just waited for it to burn off. We were on the road at 8:40 this morning all is good.

222 Miles today

foggy this morning so we waited for a while

         Then on the back road to I-44 about an hour of lovely country roads.

hilly winding back roads are wonderful
but challenging at times

Now on the interstate making good time.
not much traffic

nice rest area here

          Only travelling down the road 222miles to check out Colaw Rv Parts for some used rv parts. Our coach is 16 years old and some parts are no longer available. We stopped by here a 2 years ago and was raining and muddy. They have some parts in the store but the rest you need to cruise the wrecking yard looking for the parts you want. Hmm...  today guess what raining, cold and muddy again when we got there. We checked out the huge parts inventory to no avail. They do have some amazing deals there though, nothing we needed right now. Looking for entry door hinges for our coach, very rare. But we did pick up 2 metal cabinet door struts for our inside cabinets, good deal too.
         Shortly after 1 pm pulled  into Colaw rv parts. A huge wrecking yard and some good deals to be had if you have the time. They also sell a lot of new and used Rv's as well.

this place is huge !

       We wandered about the store, lotsa new and used rv parts here, good prices too.

headlights, taillights?

furniture, new and used

appliances

doors, almost every thing but the one wanted

       If it had not been so cold and rainy we would have taken the time to wander through the wrecking yard, I am sure we would have found what we wanted. It is amazing what we can find here. But we are not desperate yet.They do have some awesome deals here for sure. Like a good used engine (low Mileage) for our coach $2,500.00 dollars. and much more than that too.

         After here we moved on down the road to the Flying J in Joplin Mo about 15 minutes. By the time we fuelled and parked it was after 3 pm. Thats it for our day, was productive and we put on a few miles too.
          Not only that we found the cheapest fuel yet so far this year, look below; gotta love it !

         Now settled in for the night, so nice that we can stay here in close quarters. Only here for the night anyway. Plus our coach is fully functional without opening our slide. Something we looked for years ago when we bought this coach

          We discussed some possibilities for the next few days of travel, nothing carved in stone yet, but thats the way we like to travel. Will see what tomorrow brings.
          Then I get to whip up supper. Tonight a chicken pot pie. Had some leftover cooked chicken in our freezer and thawed it out. So easy to do when on the road and so very tasty. The recipe is HERE or you can check out my recipe blog on the top right sidebar.

oh so tasty,
enough for 2 meals

added a small salad and sure hit the spot

        That was another fun day heading west, getting things done and enjoying the days as we go. 

        Thanks for dropping by again and really hope you had a great day too!
