WOW!! I would think that would cut down on wear and tear due to the sun, rain, wind, etc.

Doc Tom,
 
That storage is so cool.  I have seen it before when we went down to Royals and Chiefs games.  Could not ask for anything better than that!  Speaking of underground have you been to O'Malleys in Weston?  It is in an old underground prohibition brewery.  They have live Irish music on Friday and Saturday nights.  Wonder if they would let us leave our Hawkpod in the parking lot so we could crawl out and go right to bed after all the Irish toasts?  Love the Kansas City area!

Camped at Lewis and Clark State Park the first weekend this last Nov. There were 3 other campers there that weekend. Nice place, all level sites, not far from Weston, MO. Just outside of Atchison,KS. and south of ST. Joe, north of Weston.

Hawkeye, I haven't had the R-pod long enough to use it. Bought it and put it directly into storage last December. I have camped the City area often (tent up to now) and like Smithville Lake (Clay County Parks and Rec, (north of KC) and Flemming Park/Lake Jacomo (east of the city). I live fairly close to Worlds of Fun, nice looking RV park, north, near Liberty, MO.
 
I am really looking forward to getting the 177 out soon and using it. Long trip in July planned (Colorado) and several long weekends before that to get acquainted with it. Probably a trip down to the KATY Trail with the bikes also. I usually go to the Roachport area there. I also love the state parks in SE Missouri, but they are 3-5 hours from here.
 
Some friends have recommended Pony Express RV Park (Maysville, MO), between Cameron and St. Joseph, MO as a nice place to spend a weekend. Website looks nice.
 
With a name like Hawkeye, you must have an Iowa connection. I grew up in Boone, and went to both Iowa State and the University of Iowa.

PS: Weston Bend state park is nice too, and I have been to the pub in Weston, neat little town and only about 25 minutes from here.

Doc Tom, thanks so much for all the fun ideas!  If you are from Boone, are you friends with Govenor Branstad?  We love both universities as long as they aren't playing each other.  Cry  My husband went to William Penn (Oscaloosa) and I am Buena Vista (Storm Lake).  Even though we live in Iowa, all my family is from Missouri, so we like traveling that direction. 
 
We bought a 177 also and it had to go right into winter storage.  We are so glad the snow is melting.  Going to Saylorville over Memorial weekend.  You have probably been there.  The lake is 24 miles long and there is a trail, so we are taking our bikes. 
 
We will be checking out your recommendations.  Hope to see you out there!
 
Thanks

While I am not from Iowa originally I did go to school there. Some of you may remember a little school in Fairfield called Parsons college before in became the Marharisi (SP) School. I was a freshman there the year it closed for bankruptcy.

Greg, my husband remembers the college.  Fairfield is close to Iowa City where my daughter lives.  She is a Hawkeye!  Where did you go to school after that?
