CH-CH-CH-CHANGES.
Day 192 – It’s a winter wonderland! We woke up this morning with 8 inches of wet snow on the ground and it was still coming down, though just flurries at this point. The trees were bent over from the weight of the heavy snow. Pristine and beautiful. I also woke up with the beginnings of a head cold. Goody.
THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING?
Day 191 – NY is getting another snowstorm along with NJ and DC. We’re even going to have snow here. 32 degrees & cloudy this morning, rained a lot last night, snow to start later today. That’s fine with us, but we bet some of you in NY are getting tired of it.
Day 190 – Beginning of Week 28. 35 degrees this morning at 8 a.m., partly cloudy. We hung around the RV in the morning, catching up on some things, then left for Louisville.
Day 189 – We wanted to get a fairly early start today because we’d be crossing into Eastern Standard Time and losing an hour. 35 degrees at 8 a.m., very cloudy. We departed Harmonie State Park at 10:10 a.m. after dumping & filling with water. The girls were like, what the heck? We just got here!

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY!
Day 188 – Saint Patrick’s Day is a really big deal in St. Louis – big parades, everyone in green, parties & celebrations – we’d been warned about the possibilities of traffic problems, so we went around the City & it worked out well. We were starting our trek towards Louisville, KY.

Day 187 – The weather changed dramatically yet again – very windy when we got up, very cloudy, 41 degrees. Looks like it will rain any minute. Today we are going to see Jake do his thing at the dog show.
AUGUST A. BUSCH MEMORIAL CONSERVATION AREA.
Day 186 – Beautiful day, no wind, clear sunny skies, 41 degrees when we got up. We hung around for a bit, packed a lunch, and went to a great wildlife area about 20 minutes from the campground.
Day 185 – We got up at 6 a.m., 25 degrees. Gayle picked us up at 8:00 and we all went to take Jake to doggie school. This was an agility class. It was quite interesting; it’s not just the dog, so much depends on the owner’s ability to communicate their wishes to the animal and the way they work together. And it’s good exercise, physically & mentally, for both the dog & the owner.
Day 184 – When we got up this morning, it was 26 degrees and sunny. We left at 10:10 a.m. after dumping tanks & getting fresh water. Five Deer ran alongside as we left the State Park, their fluffy white tails blowing in the wind.
