Kansas City East KOA

We arrived at the KOA which is actually located 25 miles east of KC on highway 70 about 12:30 p.m. As we drove up to the office to register, the tornado siren started and the camp ground manager had the restrooms unlocked as a tornado shelter. At first we thought this was where we'd be spending our time. Then there was announcement indicating that there was no tornado, but there was the danger of high winds and heavy rain for the next half hour. We got registered and escorted to our site and no more than hooked up the electricity when it started raining. We were tucked between two huge coaches, so didn't feel the wind at all. :-) Finished setting up after the rain was over. It was a beautiful evening with cool breezes and low humidity, so we sat outside and enjoyed the evening.

Today we came home from breakfast and Jack decided to level off the area and redistribute the gravel, as it had washed away and piled up in some areas, leaving bare ground (MUD) in others. We moved the picnic table under the canopy so it was in the shade and while Jack was working one of the KOA work-campers rode up in his golf cart to say that the owner of the campground called the office to have someone check on what was going on at site 51. She thought Jack was going to steal the gravel! He was embarrassed that he had to come see what was going on, but gave us some good hints on things to see in the area, and thought Jack had done a great job on the site!
