Lately, our travel has taken a different turn. Instead of RV or Jeep travel, we’ve turned to our bikes. Not motorcycles…good, old-fashioned bicycles. Over the last several weeks, our business has us glued to our computer monitors, working on various client projects. Our little get-aways have been hopping on our bikes for short rides around …
What the heck? Another Hamfest? Indeed, it was. This time we were off to Kansas City to attend Hambash, hosted by the Ararat Shrine Amateur Radio Club. We arrived to a packed parking lot at opening time. We fought our way through the crowded isles. I actually found something to buy before Robert! Then, when …
We celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary by going to Concordia, Missouri to the 8th Annual Pre-1865 Living History Trade Fair. We got up early and headed north from home. Our drive was only about three hours and the night before we had a bit of snow, but that didn’t deter our outing. Robert met up …
We took a little trip north from home to Holden, MO to enjoy the Midwest Gun Builders Guild Trade Fair. It was well worth the drive even though we had a little bout of winter weather the night before. We took it slow and steady. We enjoyed our time meeting new people at the trade …
We had a full and busy work week, pretty much strapped to our computers. It was time to break away and do a little trail driving. A few weeks ago, Robert had explored Glade Top Trail while I was in Mississippi. Since that area is one of the most remote areas in Missouri, we knew …

This week’s podcast is about our little adventure as we traveled north from our home base. Here’s a breakdown. Warrensburg, MO Robert had been looking forward to heading up to Warrensburg to attend the annual WAARCI Hamfest. We’ve attended the last couple of years and it’s a good time to see people who Robert chats with over …
I went for a drive to Glade Top Trail in Mark Twain National Forest in Southwest Missouri on a hot afternoon (100F-105F heat index). To do some testing on my Jeep Wrangler. The test drive was successful and ’twas a beautiful drive! Be sure to subscribe to the BeenThereDoingThat YouTube Channel.
We had a wonderful drive exploring south Hwy 160 and discovered Hodgson Water Mill and thought we would create a little Adobe Spark page to share some of our favorites. Simply click on the image and scroll through the image roll. Enjoy.
On an aimless drive one hot summer day, we discovered Hodgson Water Mill. It’s a historic grist mill located near Sycamore, MO. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Although the mill isn’t open to tour inside, it’s nice to take a stroll around the property. If you think it looks a bit familiar. It did for us …
