Wed, Dec. 3:   St. Louis, MO, to KOA, W. Memphis, AR:  After a month-long delay so Mike could have some surgery, we were finally on our way south.  But not without some angst since at 9:00 last night our kitchen sink backed up.  We called the emergency number for our plumber, but they didn’t call back until after 10:00.  So, we decided to have him come out this morning first thing.  He showed up at 7:30 and had it fixed by 8:30.  We then cleaned up the mess, closed up and picked up the fifth wheel and headed out by 9:30.  Not too bad considering.  A beautiful, sunny day until we reached Sikeston and then it clouded up.  The rest of the way to Memphis was under a grey, dismal sky.  After stopping in Sikeston for fuel and food, we were in the KOA at W. Memphis and set up by 4:30.  We pulled in at 3:15, but had to de-winterize which took some time.  This is the first time we’ve had to winterize the fifth wheel in 10 years.  The high today was 49.  It’s raining right now and will probably continue all night.
