There IS an RV campround just south of I-70 at the Bonner Springs exit on K-7 highway. Prolly about 15 miles from City Market.

There's another beside Trailside RV sales on I-70 close to Grain Valley. About the same distance away on the other side of town.

I seem to remember a State Park just east of I-35 at Kearny. Watkins Mill or sumpin like that.

Pitch it in my back yard.  About  15 miles from the city market.     Mel

yeah i forgot about watkins mill
but smithville is a little closer definatly closer than grain valley

thanks for the suggestions.  i am going to go to Kansas rocks on friday night, camp there, go wheeling on saturday for a while, then either camp there or go to one of the places you suggestd.  i figured since its a long way  to go i might as well break in the 04 since i will be that close.  what is another 2 hours added onto 5?  anyone interested in joining me is very welcome.  since i dont have my full lift or locker yet i will be taking it easy though.

sounds like a solid plan,

remember you have friends along your route should you need anything.

i remember you ran into problems last trip down.

Man that will be cool to attend, but I am in Fayetteville, Ar. and its 3 1/2 hrs. but that is not it. May little brother and his family live off Johnson road and he works at Westlake Corp. office and He will be there to visit. My 88 is fully Rock-Ready and you can see at christiancrawlers4x4.com. Its the only Zuk. But I would love a sticker. See what happens.

I'm planning to go to Tuttle creek on Saturday.  I think Flea and maybe Phoenix are going to be there too.    Mel

well!  change of plans then.  never been there and it is pretty much just as close.  i will be in the area fri night and camp somewhere and be that on Sat too.  yell if you see me 

will prob camp at the campe site there.  and i wont be on the net again after this post so hope to see some of you there

The activity at Tuttle is Saturday July 28th and the participiants are to meet at 8 am at the Randolph City Park
