It was a pretty good campground for an urban setup. It definitely had a great location for what I wanted to do. There were a few places on <strong>T<\/strong>he <strong>L<\/strong>ist in Kansas City for next time, and I wanted to visit some friends. I love how the internet introduces me to new people and makes it possible for\u00a0us to stay connected.<\/p>\n<p>My first visit was with Sue, who had me over for dinner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sue-and-Me-Kansas-City.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14968 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sue-and-Me-Kansas-City-868x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sue-and-Me-Kansas-City-868x1024.jpg 868w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sue-and-Me-Kansas-City-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sue-and-Me-Kansas-City-768x906.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sue-and-Me-Kansas-City.jpg 1457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We met in a Facebook group for interesting women a few years back. (In my opinion, we both meet that criteria.) \u00a0When I mentioned that I was planning to pass through her area, she invited me to visit. We had a lovely visit. Her husband, Tom, stuck his head in from time to time. He did let me snap a photo of him, but he had on a cap pulled low and stood in the shadows. It didn&#8217;t turn out well, so I guess you&#8217;ll just have to take my word that we met without the photo to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Could he be\u00a0in the witness protection program? That might explain why he wasn&#8217;t eager to\u00a0have me take his photo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Minskys-Pizza-Joint.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14972 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Minskys-Pizza-Joint-1024x884.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Minskys-Pizza-Joint-1024x884.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Minskys-Pizza-Joint-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Minskys-Pizza-Joint-768x663.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next day, I met up with Airstreamer friends, Elizabeth and Jack.
