Heading north on 49

Leaving is never easy, saying good bye and hoping you have all your stuff! We packed up our overnight things and headed to Shari's to finish loading the RV. Hooded thing we had too take those extra time because (as anyone who knows me will understand) I had left "just" my purse at Chris's!?
I think we pulled away about 10 or 10:30, good thing we loaded the bulk of our stuff the day before...we wouldn't have left until later afternoon!
Heading north towards Forest City, Iowa. We have a tour with the Winnebago factory on Tuesday. Pretty much headed straight up 49 towards Kansas City, mo. I am always checking my apps for possible stops we might want to take. Found one right at the state border between Ark./Mo. In the towns of Bella Vista. It is another chapel, similar to Thorncrown in Eureka Springs. Same architect, E. Faye Jones, an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright. This is the Mildred Cooper Chapel, beautiful seeing in the woods beard Norwood Lake.
When we got there it was closed to a private event. Disappointment. So we took an exterior pic and decided to pick up lunch and groceries at a nearby Harps grocery. ( Chris we had the fried chicken-very good!) Fortunately it was closed enough that I couldn't walk back to chapel to see off it was open again. Happily it was and I got to head inside.
Very similar feel to Thorncrown. Love these chapels. The woods are as much a part of the building as the ribbed structure. Lots of volume, and every thing, lights, hardware, etc are part off the overall design. So glad I got to go back and sit inside!
Back on 49, pretty rural drive, Missouri looks pretty dry in this part of the state. About 5 got to our RV Park. Kind of an odd park, thinks it is owned by the church that is nearby. This huge steeple pokes out of the trees behind us. We will have to "drive by" to see what it is.Okumaya devam et
