I mean LOVELY I decided to go all out and went to Golden Corral, had my fill for sure, the shrimp were the best. And yes it was a party of one. I'll be honest, I don't get lonely, I'm so fun to be with, I crack myself up much of the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting watching the season change on my drive down, at des Moines it started greening up, by Kansas City the leaves were out on the trees, down here it's full blown spring.

mikeman Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Just got back from the downstream casino, one of the nicest and fanciest casinos I've seen outside of Vegas, huge, pretty, lots of $25-50 and even $100 tables. I dumped a little over $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Joplin seems like a nice clean city, Kansas City on the other hand looked like a total shithole, and all I did was cruise through on the highway, saw boarded up houses, lots of piece of shit cars being driven by losers recklessly.

Now they are saying yeah but tomorrow, be ready I'm gonna be around Paris ak, about 30 miles south of Ozark. Right now I'm about 50 miles from ak, then I go about 100 miles , then get off the freeway and drive a little farther. I'm planning on seeing the highest pt in ak, magazine mt. I didn't see any obvious traffic, sounds like the weather will be good so I could see a flood of people from TX leave there if their weather sucks.

mikeman Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 I stayed in Joplin because the room rates are normal, if you go closer they can be $3-500 for rooms that should be maybe $90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooms here were $500 3 months ago. Not even sure what they are going for now. Rain should hold off until 6pm or so I what Ive been hearing. Might make traffic leaving a mess.
