Here we are settled in the Wildwood Assocition located in rural Missouri between Fulton and Readsville. This is a very hilly area with several lakes and 12,000 acres in area.

Those of you that are familiar with Cherokee Village, AR, it is similar but CV has 15,000 acres, but similar in layout and terrain.

Wildwood consists mostly of mobile, park models and RV's, mostly travel trailers and 5th wheels and class A motor homes. Some are very nice and many are old and junky in appearance, some have been setting so long that they are green with mold not having been cleaned for a long time.

It is located about 100 miles from St. Louis and a little farther from Kansas City, maybe 150 miles or so. It was developed as a retreat or summer area to visit and spend weekends, vacations, etc. It is heavily wooded with lots of wild game and fishing areas. We saw some wild turkeys yesterday on our tour of the area. We took our usual tour, taking a right turn where ever possible and we toured maybe 70% of the area in about 2 hours. There are many circles and cultesacs that only go a few lots then turn around and back out. Eventually taking every right turn available will bring you back to your starting place without missing much if anything.

It rained yesterday while we were out touring and it rained off and on all night. We took the other route out to I70 than we came in on, from the west. It is not quite as good of a road, but it is closer and puts up about 15 miles farther east when we get to I70. That is how we will go Friday when we head for Godfrey, IL.

Today, the sky cleared and the sun was out by noon and resulted in a quite nice day. I think tomorrow we will go to Kingdom City and see what is there.
