• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anybody a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder? Her home and museum is only about 50 miles east of Springfield. I'm planning on a side trip to see it, probably on Friday of Spyderfest, and would welcome company.
 
There is evidently more than one museum, with one in Minnesota. We were driving from Minneapolis to Tracy (south west part of Mn) a few years ago and there were signs everywhere for the home & museum in Walnut Grove, Mn. Thought we could make a detour on the way home to see our friends, but my geography was 'just a bit off'...
 
recheck your miles

My maps say it is 156 miles. I live about 30 miles from there. I went to PITBULLS grand opening and it was 185miles to Springfield for me. The museum I am thinking offis southwest of Independence KS on hwy 75.

Her home and museum is in either Mansfield or Marshfield Mo, I never can remember which maybe one of her fans will help me out, anyway I'm thinking probably less than 30 miles from Springfield.
 
Hello

I can't believe there is another person that is into Spyders as well as Little House on the Praire. Wish we could go but as we live in Florida , it would be a hell of a long ride!
Would consider trailering bike if Mrs. Olsen was there.

The program Little House, was supposed to have taken place in SW Minnesota--they were always going to Minneapolis or St. Paul to take care of business.

The home near Spyderfest is the home of the author of the Little House stories. Hence two museums in different places.
