Moving on along Route 66
Since Big Mama and Jocko have loaded up their RV, and Rex and Regina
have already left, Harri and the other kitties and doggies board their RVs and motorcycles and form up. Sammy and Ranger doublecheck that the campfire is out and the camp site is cleaned up, then they wave to Harri in the lead RV. Harri leads to convoy away from the beach at the confluence, and gets everybody heading south on US 67 to Route 66. Heading west, they kitties pass the remains of the Beacon Motel and the Red Cedar Inn in Pacific, then wave at the Missouri Botanical Garden Arboretum as they pass by. A few hours of driving leads them to the city of Springfield, Missouri. Traffic on route 66 (currently part of Interstate 44) slows for road construction, with the road being reduced to one lane of traffic. As the convoy reaches the flagman at the beginning of the work area, Big Mama snarls snarls "Hurry up!" as she passes. The flagman, startled at seeing a large panther, and even more startled at seeing her at the wheel of a large RV, stands mutely staring as the RV passes by. The next vehicle is the HarriMobile, and Harri waves cheerfully to the flagman as she passes. The motorcycle driven by Diasy-chan comes next, and she waves and meows cheerfully and Iowna barks from her riding pad. A cute little red sports cars with a cat at the wheel and a dog in the passenger seat follows closely behind the motorcycle. The flagman drops his flag and walks back to the crew area to turn in his orange vest and go home for the day. After a few short hours driving reach the Kansas state line, and even more quickly pass through Kansas into Oklahoma (Route 66 only travels 16 miles through Kansas). As the convoy reaches Miami, OK Big Mam pulls the road and navigates onto successively smaller roads, finally ending up on a dirt road heading off into the hills. After crossing a few hills and winding up a narrow valley for a bit they finally reach a small house with a large, shaded clearing that appears to offer multiple campsites, many with full plugins. A small stream flows through the trees behind the campsites. As Big Mama pulls her RV to a stop, an elderly man comes out of the house. Big Mam climbs out of the RV and stretches, then approaches the human. "Osayo, enisi. Siyu dohitsu?" "Dohiquu, Big Mama. Welcome." As they kitties dismount and congregate, Big Mama makes introductions. "Kitties and doggies, this is Chief Smith. He's trustee of this land, and has welcomed us to his property. There are great campsites just over there, some tents for those who prefer tent camping, and on the other side of the woods are some cabins for those who prefer more creature comforts. He has also invited us all to dinner tonight." |

She then pulls her vehicle around and backs into place underplace a large oak tree. She connects her electrical, water, and internet hookups, then deploys her side awnings. Once everything is set up to her liking she walks past the other campsites. In the next slot Sammy has maneuvered Amelia's RV into place and got the campsite squared away. He is setting up some lounging pillow with obvious plans to take a nap before the sun sets. As she gets to the end of the camping slots she is surprised to see Rex and Regina's RV already in place. Rex waves as Harri walks by.] |

We came to your country to meet with other world leaders. While we were here Regina found out she is expecting. Regina walks out of their RV as Rex is talking to Harri and hears the conversation. "Last time when I had the kits that are here with us, the royal doctor attended the birth and took the kits off to nurse maids to care for them. There was such a fuss about me doing anything. We decided this time I would have the kits on my own and care for them. I missed so much when they were little. Our body guards did not like this but they finally came around and went along with our decision. Once the kits are a few weeks old Rex will contact the prime minister and let him know where we are. We have been enjoying meeting all of the cats and dogs traveling in your group . The real joy for us is being treated as a friend. Most keep their distance because we are the royal family. I hope this news do not change the way you or your friends treat us. " Regina |

Iowna glances at the sound of breathing and grins then a dip of the nose and Domo Arrigato goziamas as she tries to catch up to her friends. Harri lets out a piercing whistle and every one heads her way. -- |

Iowna sniffing about finds the kitchen gear and pulls it out along with supplies. Another RV pulls alongside and Daisy-chan and Cash happily attach their canope across it and to the trees to the side. While they are working, Iowna carefully walks to the edge of the bushes and finds a spot with soft dirt. She digs a hole and piles the dirt back in with some leaves and puts up a 'ladies' sign then makes another with a 'gents' sign. Then she thinks of Cash and makes a third with a 'big doggies' sign. As she comes back, another tent camper asks Cash to make them one too. Iowna joins Daisy-chan to see where she can help. She's set to digging a fire pit, not too deep needed but get all the grass and roots out of the way. Since they are all firesafe, Iowna sets to with a will and digs out a shallow 4inch deep 2ft wide pit. She puts the turf to the side so it can be backfilled neatly. It makes a sort of backsplash. Daisy-chan pulls out a mini-grill that needs only 6 coals and gets it lit while Iowna pulls out 2 lbs of bacon then licking her chops, lays out the bedding. Around, you can all hear folks setting up camp. They have room for a little tent under their cover in addition to them. |

With a huge grin, Iowna makes a proper sort of curtzy and gives a quick nuzzle then sniffs about and catches Cash then with a wink, trotts off to their campsite very nearby where Harri was calling. Daisy-chan shrugs, removes a small thermos from her carryall and folds into an elegant 4 legged Japanese sitting stance, toes and ankles tucked 'just so'. She pours tea (green with a little nip added) for Regina and sits back. If the tea is accepted, the apology is understood though there is no blame. JUst a sort of 'oops'. -- |
