We pulled out of Odessa MO just before the storms caught up with us and drove to St. Charles MO where we are staying at the Sundermeier RV Park ($56.00 per night with GSC). We were put into a site we had stayed at before.
On Sunday we went into the Old Town St Charles and Old French Town. We spent the afternoon wandering through stores, had lunch at Braddens and picked up some goodies at the bakery.
It rained Monday and Tuesday so David used the time to do some work.
Wednesday morning, we slept late and took our time getting ready to head out. We had decided to go to a winery in Grafton, IL on the other side of the Mississippi river. Of course you can't drive straight there, so we decided to take the back roads over to Alton IL and then the river road up to Grafton. since it was lunchtime, and we needed something on our stomachs before we do a wine tasting, we stopped at the Market Street Cafe in Alton for lunch. We were sitting at our table waiting for our lunch to be served when we both got a notice on our phones about a time urgent appointment. When we checked to see what it was, we discovered that we were supposed to be moving to another campground today! Yikes! David totally thought we had until Friday before we were moving! So we called Sundermeier to see if we could stay an extra night and were told that site was promised to someone else for multiple nights and we had to be out by 1PM. It was 12:50 and we were an hour away. Just about then, our food arrived. So, we wolfed down lunch (it was very good) and booked it back to St. Charles. So much for wine tasting and riding the Katy trail. Maybe next time through.
