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 69 – We left Babler State Park at 9:05 a.m., (53 degrees & sunny), we were heading for Charlestown, Indiana and a long-awaited visit with my daughter, Pam, who lives in Louisville, Kentucky, about 40 minutes from our campground, Charlestown State Park. We had never met her two dogs (the grandkids), Simone and Ginji, nor had we ever seen her house. So excited. We had driven through KY briefly in 1989 (but she didn’t live there yet) when moving from Southern CA to Poughkeepsie, NY, and remembered the State to be quite beautiful. We were not disappointed in this visit.

Day 68 – More campers had arrived at Babler State Park, oh yeah it’s the weekend, that’s why. We hung out at the campsite and caught up on some things, then left to meet Gayle & Jake at Westinn Kennels. This is where she takes Jake for Agility and Obedience classes, and they have dog shows on some weekends. There are other dog shows in the area, at Purina for example, which has a large facility nearby.

Day 67 – My sister, Gayle, lives in a city outside St. Louis and we’d arranged for her to come to the campground to see the RV and meet the cats. It was around 30 minutes depending on traffic from her home to ours. She’d taken the day off from work so we had the entire day to visit with her, and it was very nice. She looked great and it was wonderful to see her.

Day 66 – We got up at 6:30 a.m., not in a hurry to leave for our next campground because their check in time was 3 p.m. and our drive there was only 3 hours. We made pancakes (camping pancakes are the BEST) and sat around and relaxed. The girls were surprised when we shuttled them off to their bedroom travel area; they’d thought they were safe from driving since it was late when we left. It was easy to get them into the bedroom; they were very La-Ti-Da about it all.
