Joplin, MO KOA
Sometimes, a campground is just too nice for both humans and dogs. That was the case for us in Joplin, MO at the KOA. When we got there, we got a site way in the back, where it was open around our RV (read we could get satellite reception and sun) and the woods were all around us. The minute we got to this KOA, the dogs went crazy. They were rolling around on the grass within a microsecond. Then, they discovered the gorgeous path through the woods which was a designated pet path.
So, we stayed a second day.
On the second day, I took pictures of the geese in the big pond in the middle of the campground. While the dogs ran along the edge and went in occasionally, no swimming though, it is for widllife like turtles and geese. Then, I rescued a baby turtle from the road and put it back in the pond. I can't remember the last time I have seen a baby turtle before this time.
So, we stayed another day.
On the third day, I was walking the dogs along the edge of the woods and two white-tailed deer came out to the edge, looked at us, and silently bounded back into the woods.
Now, the weird thing about this campground was that it was near the highway between two truck stops, but it really was quiet and peaceful. And, make sure you have Frontline tick repellent on your dogs when traveling in these parts.
Finally, on the fourth day, with regrets, we filled up on propane and left.
We are in Ohio now, more about that later, but Joplin is still on my mind and my dogs minds.
