Day 1 | Upper Mid-West Tour

Well we finally hit the road this am after months of planning, packing, and getting ready to roll, we rolled out around 6:45 am.  Amazingly we hit very light traffic going through Nashville to get to the storage unit to pick up the Airstream. 

Once at the storage unit, we hooked up and loaded the last of the items into the truck to roll out.  Most of the heavy work had already been done the last few days at the unit.  We went and turned on the refrigerator a couple of days ago, and then came back on Monday to add in the frozen food, and refrigerator items, and brought our clothes, drinks, etc.

Today was an easy travel day, because we were expecting more traffic in Nashville, and also more time to get ready to go this morning.  So we arrived just east of St. Louis at a small gentlemen farm, that is a “Harvest Host”.  We are staying here tonight.

Harvest Host is a company that signs up many farms, breweries, wineries, museums, drive ins, and anything else that might want to host RV’ers for a night.  The way it works is you join the company (pay a fee), like a Costco or Sam’s Club and then you can stay on many of these properties each year.  You still have to make reservations, and you are encouraged to purchase something from the companies.  Today we bought some farm fresh eggs and honey that they produce.

Here are some pictures from the farm.

Till tomorrow.
