Red Bluff NF Campground; Davisville, MO:  This morning dawned sunny and beautiful.  Really chilly.  After showering and dressing I had to clean up a mess under the kitchen sink.  Apparently, during the hot days while in storage, a can of rug cleaner ruptured and leaked all over.  This turned into a thick, nasty, greasy mess.  It took a while, but we got it all cleaned up and then I made a big breakfast which we devoured.  After that we sat outside for a while reading our books and relaxing.  Then headed down to the Davisville General Store which now has a new owner.  Her name is Kerry Sue and she has done a great job cleaning the place up and turning it around.  She even serves breakfast and lunch daily.  After talking with her for a while, we drove back to Red Bluff and filled up our jugs with water and checked out the lower campground.  Came back and filled up our water tank.  Had a few visitors—three guys on Harleys and a couple of other people stopping to check out the beautiful view.  Burgers for dinner and another fire.

It's also the post office!
