This weekend I will be in Jefferson City, attending a statewide business meeting
of a group I belong to. As I was driving west on interstate 70 on a beautiful
sunny spring afternoon it occurred to me I would be driving right by the
Kan-Do Campground,
home of Kathy of Kathy's Kampground Kapers.
I can't remember when I found Kathy's blog, but I really enjoy reading about her adventures as a campground owner. When Son Brian lived in Columbia Missouri and we visited him on a regular basis I often thought about stopping by to meet Kathy, but we were always in a hurry to get to his house or get home. Today I had plenty of time, I was by myself, and I could set my own schedule. No one would be inconvenienced if I detoured off the highway to meet her.

The kampground was easy to find. I followed the signage to the lot, parked in front of the office, then walked in and asked the woman inside if she was Kathy. She was.
I introduced myself.
We had a nice chat about campers, road trips, and dogs. At the end of the conversation I met HeWho (Kathy's husband, and the focus of many of her stories). All in all, it was a wonderful visit.
I think I've met 5 other bloggers. I think I hurt my brain trying to think of anybody I forgot. Three are still blogging. One went to Facebook only. One more went to twitter only. One day I could make that number 6. At least two weeks after April 29th though.
ReplyDeleteSo April 29 plus 14 days is your COVID Freedom day?
DeleteNo, it's yours. You got your second shot on April 29th. I'm 2 months past my immunity date.
DeleteI don't know what it says about me that I didn't realize what you were saying. Got it now, though :-)
DeleteHow wonderful that you got to stop for a visit. I would love to sit and chat with Kathy some day. Her posts are so good.
ReplyDeleteI felt like in-person Kathy was the exact same as virtual Kathy.
DeleteThat is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to visit. I have met up with a few bloggers.
ReplyDeleteBlog friends are real what a great meetup!
ReplyDeleteI always refer to bloggers as 'virtual friends'.
DeleteGlad you've finally met with Kathy, the blogger whose posts you enjoy reading. Indeed, she's now no more just a virtual friend for you, and that's nice.
ReplyDeleteNow every time I read one of her posts I will be able to put a face to the words.
DeleteI thought I recognized the sign and grinned from ear to ear, reading who you met. And all her rocks were unmoved.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that I borrowed the photo from the campground website I'm sure Kathy made sure everything was in good condition :-)
DeleteIt's good to meet a fellow blogger face to face.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I agree.
DeleteWow, this is like free ads!! It was so good to meet you, as well. I have met some other blog buddies and I always feel as if I already know them from reading their words.
