- 🛣️Stan and Rhonda from Over The Hill Adventures continue to travel across the country to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. In this episode of Rally Bound & Beyond, Stan and Rhonda stay at a very nice campground called Okaw Valley Kampground in Illinois for one night. The next morning they head out to the Elks Lodge in Joplin, Missouri which they come to find out the first night is FREE. Back on the road the next day, they make an unexpected stop at Uranus Fudge Factory in Missouri, a tourist destination along the famous Route 66. This famous stop really likes to play on this little town's name that will send you laughing down the road. On a serious note, Stan and Rhonda talk about what they saw on the road that really impacted Rhonda. Come with Stan and Rhonda as they beeline to their season's grand finale adventure.

Thanks for the video! Stay safe!
Beyond Blessed you joined us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Enjoyed the video.
Thank you, Barbara! Always great to hear from you! ~ Rhonda and Stan
“There’s a lot of fudge in Uranus”. 😂 Too funny! Wife and I just discovered your channel. Maumee Bay and Alum Creek videos caught our attention. We are Ohioans (yes, you said that right) and those two parks are on the list as our favs. Travel safe.
Thank you for joining us! There is a lot to see in Uranus that will keep you laughing down the road. Maumee Bay is our number two favorite state park. Fall Creek Falls in Tennessee still holds number one. Having said that we have gone to several in Ohio. Ohio does not disappoint when it comes to their state parks. We really enjoyed Mohican State Park. Welcome to Team OTHA!! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
We went to the arch many years ago.we really enjoyed it.
Hi Deb, thank you for joining us! We will see it again. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼
That was a fun video! That stop at Uranus was hilarious. Dottie cracked up over the "fudge" gag. Thanks! We needed that! 😂😂
Too bad the Buc-ees in Springfield MO wasn't open when y'all passed through there. It opened before Christmas.
Looking forward to seeing your Balloon Fiesta footage. Did y'all run into FOS at the Fiesta?
Safe travels, and God bless y'all!
Bob and Dottie
Hello Bob Nad Dottie, thank you for joining us! We laughed the whole time we were in Uranus! Yes we did see FOS spent a little time with them. They are wonderful amazing people. We also met Less Junk More Journey, the were also amazing folks. Those folks are big time. We are just little fish in a big pond compared to them. We enjoyed them. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
We were just there to the Arch on our way home from Yuma AZ a week ago back home to MI. We went to the top and stayed across from the Arch at the casino RV park on the IL side. The Buc-ee’s was open when we came through a week ago. Fun place!
Hello Cathy, thank you for sharing! That sounded like a fun trip. How was your stay at the Casino RV Park? Thank you for joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Went on the arch tram in 81 or 82, went to Cardinal baseball game and saw Fernando Valenzuela pitch and hit a home run for the Dodgers. Also the zoo is really great.
Hi Kirk, thank you for sharing and joining us! Stan and Rhonda
We’ve been to St Louis many times and went to the Arch 2 or 3 times. I had fun going to the top, but the “pod” is unusual! I read that the museum has been renovated since our last trip. We have friends that live in a lovely suburb of St Louis, Kirkwood.
Hello Claudia, we need to go back. Thank you for joining us! We heard the museum was renovated. It would be nice to see it again. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
good sax .
Hello Laura, thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
1:46 Good video! We have not been to St. Louis before but would like to go see the arch at least once. Sad that accidents happen but glad you were not involved. ❤ 😢
Hello Lorie, the arch definitely needs to be on your bucket list. Then take a trip to the top in a little capsule. The museum was also great to see. Hope all is well! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼🙌❤️
There is a Christian Activity Center on the East St Louis,Illinois side that we did mission work at so I’ve been up in the Arch 3 times. It’s amazing!
Hello Susan, thank you for sharing! That is awesome!! Some folks don’t realize there is a lot of mission work we can do right here in our own country. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
It would be hard not laughing while in Uranus & embrace it if you live there! Safe travels
We had to edit out so much stuff! You can only imagine how much they embrace it around there 🤣😂 Fun stop though! 😘
Can't wait to get back out there on my vacation at the end of July. Hopefully mother nature doesn't give too much surprises.
The weather can be tricky. Safe travels! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
For safety reasons we always go to larger fuel stations.
Hi John, We definitely agree!
I love your T shirt Stan. If it means what I think it means 590 Hapeville here...
Hey there, on my shirt it’s actually the Grand Design logo, a compass. Thanks for watching 👍 Always great to hear from you.
Stan and Rhonda
@@OverTheHillAdventures What a dummy I am, I need to wear my glasses more often. LOL..thanks!!
😂🤓
Try using the fuel price map on Trip Wizard. Just change the locations.
Hi Benny, thank you for joining us! We will take a look at it. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Its farty -far. Under the arch is a awesome museum. Missed best frozen custard on route 66 Ted Drews. St Louis home US largest FREE zoo in the home the 1904 worlds fair. Where also is a free art and history museum both free in forest park. But I'd camp in st Charles County a half hour drive away. One camping on Missouri river with an awesome bike trail Katie trail. Few minutes from historic st charles. Other camping 10 minutes down road with a lake and access to dog parks Vikings biking trails depending weekend free music pavilion.
Hello Tamara, thank you for sharing those are some great tips! We will definitely put those on the list to check out. We were able to see the museum before the renovation. Thank you for joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼
Am afraid of heights but was guilted into going so went to top of Arch. Stayed at Scott AFB of course. Lol 🙃
Hi Sandy, thank you for sharing and joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼
I didn’t like going up the arch. I liked the museum though.
The travel up the arch made us a little anxious and claustrophobic, but the views were great 👍 Yes, the museum was great!
Sometimes you just have to enjoy the waiting in life. I get impatient also but it allows you to slow down and appreciate life😃
Hello Luther, you are right on the money! Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
I don't like new superstores like Bucks or even Walmart they then to close older traditional store and small gas stations. Fun to go too but not that great for local biz. Safe travels.
Hi Dave. Thank you for sharing. The good part it employs a lot of people. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Checking in from mid-coast Maine. Looking forward to the 2024 Camping season. Enjoy!
Hi Aaron, we have to get up to Maine. We begin season 7 in Utah. With a big surprise. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
I was up in the arch many years ago. We came down as soon as my dad found out how far it moves off center even on a calm day. Last September my husband and I went to Beaver Lake Arkansas, camping taking the same route as you did. From what I can tell they made good progress on the new Buch-ees.
The one in Springfield MO opened before Christmas 2023. It's a major hit in SW Missouri.
Hello Becky, thank you for sharing!! Isn’t interesting how much the huge building moves. Buc-ees is as big as a Walmart. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
Hello Bob, that is awesome. Definitely puts a lot of folks to work. They pay good! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
We want ro be good stewards of our resources, however being frustrated is never fun. I do attempt to look at delays as His protection and purpose.
Hello Jane, that was nicely said. Yes we feel the same way. Thank you for joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼
We loved the Arch. All my life, I thought it was a solid steel structure until we saw another You Tube couple go up. Now, it is marked off our bucket list. We stayed at St Louis/N. Granite KOA. The KOA was just ok. 🤷♀️ We are headed to UP, Michigan this summer. 😃 Love you guys...stay safe.
Hello Debbie, thank you for joining us! You will love the UP. It was an amazing adventure. Do not miss Holland Michigan. We thought the same about the arch. It is also marked off as being a National Parks. Many blessings and safe travels! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Back when I was an over the road truck driver I drove past the Arch and always wanted to stop there and to see the Budweiser Clydesdales. Waiting at the pumps has always been a thing ever since they put diesel engines in pick up trucks. The unwritten rule that truckstops fuel pull forward going and pay. Safe travels in joy the ride. Thanks From Wisconsin
Hello Bob and Cathy, hope all is well! It was our fault they wanted the card inside first. That’s what we get for trying to be frugal. When traveling every cent you can save counts. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
Yes, we have experienced the thrill in high winds and later on that night a tornado came through the city close o
To our hotel. We were on the 26th floor with the outside wall complete glass. I prayed a lot that day and night, it gave a pretty view. Glad you all enjoyed it. Blessings
Hello Betty Jo, we have some exciting weather on our next video. Thank you for joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda 🙏🏼❤️
The Beech Lane Wireless Leveler or the Level Mate Pro is a game changer in leveling. Saves us a ton of time getting level. The Arch is so cool. We went there a couple years ago. Michelle’s first time, my second. We have a video about our visit and ride to the top. We chose pass through Uranus.
Hi Guys! Thanks for the leveling advice. I’m not sure we’re going to need a leveling device anymore. We sold our Grand Design Imagine. Don’t tell anyone you heard it here first. What’s next you have to stay tuned! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
WHAT! I won't tell anyone, except all the people seeing these messages on youtube. lol. We will stay tuned. - Michelle@@OverTheHillAdventures
Love our Elks Lodges!! Looking forward to taking the Route 66 someday! See ya again soon we hope!
Hey Guys, thank you for joining us! Elks makes traveling a little easier! We are heading to Utah in May. We will be in Moab the middle of May. Then off to Colorado. Hope to see you down the road. Blessings and safe travels, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
@@OverTheHillAdventures we’re in Grand Junction Colorado in September.
We're from St. Louis, the grounds and museum have been redone. Much nicer than before.
Thank so much! That is good to know! Thank you for joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
This summer we are making a plan to visit the Gulf Shores in AL. We plan on doing a 1 day stop in St. Louis. We found the casino Draft Kings has an RV park. We planned on staying there for the day. Thanks for recommending those two. I will check them out.
Passing through our old stomping grounds we live just north of Indianapolis now, from South Central Illinois and we lived in SE Missouri and Kansas City, MO we were just in Springfield been to Uranus a few times too! Enjoy....safe travels! Joplin was devastated by a tornado in 2011. We had some of our company employees serving food to victims and responders. It was a big mess!!!
We read the horrific story of what happened in Joplin. We can’t imagine the devastation that occurred. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
No, I don’t like waiting to save money at the gas pumps. If I can save 20 or more MAYBE. MY TANK IS 48 GALLONS. Ronda, telling that spider to run. No, No. Stan gave it the foot big time. Nice video. NOT smooth telling the spider to run that might have bit Stan. Well maybe still smooth.
😂 I think I was telling Stan to run!! 🤣🏃♂️ He showed him who was boss! 🥾Just wait for the next video when we meet it’s brother INSIDE the trailer 😱You and Stan certainly think alike when it comes to the gas pump ⛽️ Say hello to Brenda for us! ❤️ ~ Rhonda and Stan
I truly believe there are no accidents or coincidences in life, God puts stuff, delays, etc in our way for a reason. We might not realize at the time, or understand but there's a reason.
Amen! We truly believe that He protects and allows things to happen we may never see or understand. His ways are not our ways 🙌 Thank you for reaching out! ~ Rhonda and Stan
The savings on a few cents a gallon for diesel/gasoline is not worth for me. And it is not so much waiting on a few cars to finish pumping their fuel. What gets me is the inconsiderate drivers that feel the need to leave their vehicle unattended in a lane while they shop in the store or use the restroom. Even when we are not traveling, my wife and I are always amazed at the time folks spend waiting in mega lines to save a few cents a gallon at places like Sam’s and Costco. Love your videos and the positive messages. God bless and take care.
Yes so true! Thank you for sharing and joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼
We have been up in arch several times when our kids were young. St Louis isn’t too far from where we live so it is a nice place for a quick vacation. We have been by Uranus several times and haven’t been able to stop! We are always in a hurry. It is for sure a place we want to stop and see!!
Hi Julie, one thing for sure if you stop at Uranus you will go down the road laughing. Thank you for joining us and sharing. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
What Brand and Model are your Mountain bikes? I was looking into getting new bikes to replace my old 1996 Giants.
If you look in our description and scroll down you will see our bikes. That will give you all the details of our bikes. Rhonda’s is a LIV E X Intrigue Pro 1 made for women by women. Stan’s is a Giant E X Trance Pro 2. Awesome bikes!!
@@OverTheHillAdventures I feel so stupid I was scanning all your mountain bike videos trying to find the bikes and they were in the description the whole time. DOH! Those are very nice bikes. I would be terrified they would get stolen.
@@myriadcorp Trust me, I have a huge chain. The worst part is, I just ran over mine. It’s in the shop! 😂
I went to the top of the arch! The view was amazing! I was on my way to the Grand Canyon and I stayed at Rockwood Motor Court in Springfield. The owner is amazing!!
Hello Lori, we will have to remember the Rockwood Motor Court. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼
30 years ago today, the daredevil John Vincent scaled the Gateway Arch using suction cups starting at 3 a.m. He wasn’t spotted by anyone until he got to the top at 7 a.m Where two radio traffic reporters saw John BASE jump from the top. We live across the river from the STL
That is awesome!! Thank you for sharing what a great story. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
