Flash floods are nothing to mess with, when the authorities say go, you go and fast !!! Stay safe ! And thank you for honoring fallen hero’s/soldiers 🥰

[@WaywardWaggs]

We learned our lesson for sure. First warning and we will be leaving. It could have been a lot worse.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It is our pleasure to honor these heroes. They are the reason we have the freedom to live this lifestyle.

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

You two always make me laugh. So glad you guys evacuated and are ok. Safe travels.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you. We are glad it wasn't worse and we can laugh about ot now.

[@dianegleeson7246]

I just found your channel. I love how honest you are about RV life not always being fun and games. The truth is, though, it isn't always easy when you live in a sticks and bricks house either. We just got evacuated for the Kincaid fire in Northern California. We had some panic moments, and had to make decisions about what to take and what to leave, and where we were going to go. We made some mistakes, but we learned from them. Nothing tragic happened, and we'll be better prepared next time. And it makes me feel like I'll be ok when I finally make it into an RV. Glad the three of you are safe. Happy travels and happy anniversary! PS. I just realized I posted this on Veteren's Day. Thank you for your service, and for honoring people who sacrificed their lives for us.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you so much. We are so glad you made it out. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those impacted by the fires and the brave men ans women fighting the fires. It was our pleasure to serve and an honor to pay tribute to the fallen heroes. 🇺🇸

[@wheelswaterwander9139]

While watching Gallion and Papa Drew I found your channel and glad I did. Those middle of the night DOOR BANGS are the worst no matter where you are and it’s never good news. Happy to see things worked out well and certainly look forward to following your journey.

[@MikeC19100]

So glad you didn’t have any more problems than the loss of your door mat, a damaged stabilizer and whatever else happened to the rig. With the sparking hookup pole so close it could have been a LOT worse. You both did what you had to do, but you’ve also made it clear that we ALL need to have an emergency “HIT THE ROAD” checklist that is always within easy reach of the door. Thanks for sharing your experience and lessons learned.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It could have been so much worse. We will be a lot more prepared next time...Hopefully ther is not a next time though.

[@FollowingtheYellowBrickRoad]

Wow! What an experience. I don’t know how clearly I would be thinking after being woke up like that.

[@7sicklerstrekkingtribe945]

Great video. Showing some of the downsides and mishaps that can happen are very important for those like me who haven't hit the road yet. We are planning to be on the road in March and I needed to see this to be prepared for when this could happen to us. Thanks guys for keeping it real.

[@WaywardWaggs]

More to come. We are having some struggles today. Don't worry. We are filming and will share today's shenanigans too.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

Never saw that park flood unless they were dumping water out of Table Rock. They opened the gates on Table Rock again this week, because Beaver Lake is 8 ft into flood stage

[@WaywardWaggs]

It was only supposed to rain for a couple of hours and it rained for 2 days straight. This was filmed about a month ago. We are way ahead on our videos.

[@theeox]

I'm glad you guys came out ok. I have a Class A and I have been through a few tough scenarios several of them at the gas station. We flat tow our van and you can't go backwards. Almost snapped the axles the first time not realizing the damage we could do backing up. Also almost took of the top of our RV in a tunnel because I thought we'd fit and almost crushed/killed our cat when opening the slide because I didn't make sure we had control of our cats. She jumped under the bed as I was opening it and she got trapped/crushed underneath. Thankfully she wasn't hurt too bad but was the worst curdling scream from a cat I've ever heard. So I make sure we have control of them from now on. Just a few of our problems we've had. Still love RVing.

[@WaywardWaggs]

😯 That sounds intense. Glad you and your cats are all ok.

[@jeepsandrvs]

HA! One of your funniest and best videos. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. While stressful when going through them, these are the things that make lasting memories. Safe Travels!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you. We couldn't agree more. It's a learning experience and now we have a pretty funny story to tell around the campfire.

[@mobiltec]

Reminder. Hope you have multiple fire extinguishers on board. Both INSIDE and OUTSIDE. You should have one on either side of the bed because any trailer fire will most likely be between you and the exit. A couple outside in a lower compartment or mounted to the side of the trailer in plain view. If you see smoke coming out of the trailer you can't go in to get the extinguisher. If in an outdoor compartment put a RED label on that door noting that there are fire extinguishers inside. Hopefully the compartment door is not locked at the time.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thanks. We do have multiple extinguishers including the bedroom and outside. We are gun shy from when our house burned down in 2000.

[@ForensicPI]

You guys are great together, great attitudes too. Thanks for the laughter.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you. We have so much fun together. We appreciate you watching.

[@StaciesCountryCooking]

I’m glad you all are safe.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you. It was crazy for a bit but now we have a great story to tell.

[@KRDestinations]

Man what a crazy time. Glad u guys got out ok. Branson our favorite spot. Only 4 hours from us. And we are in KC. You ever get thru here again. Let us know. Love to hang out. Bless you guys

[@WaywardWaggs]

That would be really cool. We loved our time in KC. Great city.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Y’all are so cute! We were in a really bad storm during the wee hours in South Dakota....it’s really scary. I’m so glad you’re OK and your rig is OK... repairable. (Ours was totalled). Continued prayers for your safety. Always better to be safe than sorry. Looking forward to seeing you next time! Stay safe. 😊

[@WaywardWaggs]

Glad you guys are ok also. Sorry about your rig.

[@babranson1]

I’ve had a couple of similar camping trips. The first was about 25 years ago. We were camped at a local lake where we had camped for several years. They had built a new dam that raised the normal pool about two feet. We got a six inch rain on Friday and a seven inch rain on Saturday. The new portion of the lake filled in two days. My fifth wheel was axle deep when we pulled out. The second was early this spring. We were on Cottonwood Point, Marion Reservoir in central KS. Our campsite was a good fifty feet off the water. I woke up about 0330, looked out, and the water was up to the steps. I told my wife that we were moving to the empty site directly across the road and I was not going to take time to put the glides in. By the time we got hitched the water was up to the front jacks. She was sitting at the dinette while we were moving. I had about six inches clearance on the left and right both. Rangers showed up at sunup and told us to vacate. The park is not back open yet. We had a years worth of rain in about six weeks.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Glad you guys made it out. Those flood waters are no joke.

[@valeriawson]

Yes love they way you both handled the situation and with good humor afterwards. Sorry to hear about you trip being cut short and hope you have a good stay here in Kansas City.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We did have a great time in KC. It is a great city. We have since moved on and are headed south through Oklahoma. We hope you are keeping warm up there.

[@mrsgallionadventures1967]

It is all about the journey and the stories we get to tell! So glad you all made it out safe and are able to laugh about it. That makes for a great adventure.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It was fun to look back and talk about. Even though it was only a few hours after the incident, we are glad we could look back and laugh.

[@texasproud3332]

Good video y’all. Experience that’s the word I am looking for we have been rving since early 90’s . Running from a raging fire, grilling in pouring rain ,awning blowing over the top of the rig in the middle of the night, getting caught in snow , ice , hail storms but you know what looking back we laugh pretty hard about it because we’re all healthy and that’s all that matters have fun y’all

[@WaywardWaggs]

Great attitude. We chalk it all up as experience and part of the journey.

[@brucewallace3860]

Very funny. I appreciate you sharing. This past spring, while driving north on I-90, we went through an incredible storm which later spawned tornadoes across the Midwest. After about 50 miles of intense driving in rain and strong winds, I pulled off the highway to discover....our awning was gone. GONE. The awning was completely torn off, its metal poles were dangling. We were too stunned to be mad. We made it to Souix Falls and bought....a bottle of whiskey. We have not replaced the awning yet. We keep a bottle of "emergency whiskey" on board our travel trailer. We will laugh about it....one of these days.

[@WaywardWaggs]

So glad you are OK. Hit that emergency whiskey one more time! Pour a little out for the lost awning. 😂

[@pamprice586]

You two are so funny! Keep laughing and enjoying yourselves! Sorry about the problems you had!

[@WaywardWaggs]

It's all part of the adventure. We are having a ton of fun.

[@HappyPlaceDiaries]

OMG you two had us laughing so hard when Leslie busted her ass... those kind of things happen and hind sight always makes for a better story in the end. No real harm and something you’ll talk about for a bit. Thanks for sharing!

[@WaywardWaggs]

🤣 It's always great when you can look back and laugh. It could have been worse. All part of the journey.

[@LuckyDawgProductions]

Glad you guys made it out safely. You really had me laughing. You have a great attitude about it.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Glad we could make you laugh. We were exhausted when we filmed this but it was fun.

[@921buzz]

We just spent our 23rd anniversary in Branson last month. So glad you made it through that safely. It could have really ended badly.

[@WaywardWaggs]

[@kingsdaughter1647]

My hubby fell out of the door which extended our stay by two weeks!!! Prompt Care, X-rays, crutches, orthopedic surgeon visit, MRI and two weeks of antibiotics. RVers just keep rolling!!

I’m so glad you both made it out of Missouri alive. You both always make me laugh. When it happens you think it’s not funny but later on it becomes funny as you tell the story. But ya glad both of you got out of there in time and with Scout. Hope you had fun in Kansas. Is there much to see there? Hope you did have fun there. Can’t wait to see next video. See you soon! Stay safe and travel safe.

[@michaellineback7487]

Small world, we were in Branson that night also. Staying at a different campground, Treasure Lake RV Resort. Did you leave before the other side of the lake had a landslide? They closed 76 going into Forsythe, due to the hillside sliding into Tanycomo. Pretty good section slid off into the lake. We left the next morning just because of all the rain and mess, the weather man predicted 2 inches and they got 5 to 6.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We did not hear about the landslide. It was definitely an interesting night. Glad you guys were not negatively impacted by it.

[@chadmortenson377]

Great job handling that situation.. My wife, and I couldn’t help but to laugh WITH you.😅! You guys rock, man.!!! The irony of the crap that happens to us sometimes too… Just one thing after another… Sometimes just makes ya shake your head and say, “we’ll of course, why the F wouldn’t that happen to me right now”… Lol Feel to use it…! It don’t help.!! But ya can laugh, and feel better…😅 Thanks for the weather tips… As always, Y’all got your safety tips across in a creative way….

Second time hearing this and I’m still busting up. So much for a chill time in Kansas City since we got involved. Even with the situation I glad we got to spend more time with you guys. Things haven’t been as much fun around here since you left. Thanks for sharing the story with us again

[@WaywardWaggs]

We miss you guys too. We can't wait until all of our KC videos come out.

[@i.m.7710]

Heed the warning the first time. I noticed right away in this video that the lake was already to the brim. You were lucky the police came. Maybe that what your doggy was trying to tell you. 😍

[@WaywardWaggs]

We will definitely listen to the warning the first time from now on.

[@akwolf1434]

That "lake" is always full at that point. It is only a couple of miles down from Table Rock Lake dam, and in reality Lake Taneycomo is more of a river at this point anyways. The problem with the whole Branson area is it is all rock and most all of the rain just runs off, so flash flooding is a huge problem. Especially if the COE does not get to opening up the dams down stream from the Branson area.

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

You two make a great story telling team. Very fun couple. Have a great anniversary.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you! We have a lot of fun together.

[@joeswishful9740]

We have stayed at that same park. Had no idea that Taneycomo floods. It must have been a pile of rain. Glad you made it out alright.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It was 6-7 inches in 24 hours. It was only supposed yo rain for 2 hours that day. Could have been a lot worse.

[@karenredding9439]

Hey Y'all! I just wanted to say FYI that even when it stops raining the water is still rising. Like rivers rising down stream flooding even if their area didn't get any rain. I bet you will leave on the first knock next time. Lol! I'm glad you were able to get your trailer out safely too. I enjoyed hearing your mishaps.⛈ 👍😁🛣🚐🍁🍂💕

[@WaywardWaggs]

We will definitely get up and get gone on the first knock next time. We are so lucky it was not worse. One more for the story books.

[@Kelz1136]

I have a fall story...my ex and I had RVs and a large boat in which we would "tent boat camp" on occasion. We pulled the boat out of the water one night and, like with RVs, had our "jobs" when getting the boat secure to the trailer. Because the boat was so tall, there were trailer ladders to assist with getting in and out of the boat. I was climbing down one ladder and my foot slipped (boat, water, rubber...you get the idea) and down I went. He was on the other side of the boat and didn't hear the thud on the asphalt. I couldn't breathe for a second or two and was flat on my back when he came around the back of the boat, looked down at me, and said "what are you doing down there?" I think all he got was "the look" because I couldn't talk and couldn't move for a minute...I hate falling.

[@WaywardWaggs]

😂 That is a funny story. Glad you are Ok.

[@GeorgePencilArt]

You coped really well with that situation! I would have needed hospitalization... lol. Sounds like it helps a whole lot being a couple and not having to do everything alone.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We are glad it all worked out. It could have been a lot worse. We worked really good as a team in a hurry.

[@ChangingTheView]

Thanks for sharing! So glad everything is okay! I guess it wouldn't truly be an "adventure" if things like this didn't happen! :) Makes for a great story! LOL

[@mobiltec]

Just like in Skydiving. EVERY RVer should practice EMERGENCY BAIL OUT PROCEDEURES. Many different types of emergencies can cause a camp ground or RV park to have to run everyone out in a hurry. I've been there a couple of times in my life. Both due to wild fires. Practice being in an emergency situation. Mentally put yourself into that position and practice disconnecting everything with your eyes open and with your eyes closed. Remember that you don't need to hook up stabilizer bars for an emergency exit. Disconnect power, water and sewer. Coupler, lights, jack stands, quick check all the way around the camper and tow vehicle and you're outta there. You can stop once you are out of harms way and hook up the safety chains and stabilizer bars. If you have time to roll up the hoses and take them with you then it's not that big of an emergency in the first place.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It was definitely a good practice emergency event. We will be ready next time.

Our first night in our class a motorhome, we were chronicling at a Wal-Mart parking lot. At 0330, there was a loud knock, stupidly, I just opened the door, ( while holding a billyclub behind my back. There was a guy who asked me if I was some guy( name escapes me), like a dumbness I said yes. He was a bounty hunter looking for this guy. When I finally got him to believe me of my real name, he said the guy he was looking for lived in a RV in that Wal-Mart parking lot. That was our VERY FIRST night in our RV. Another time, the forecast was for rain overnight, not heavy rain, just rain. Usually, my wife or I remember to lower our electric canopy that's attached to the rig. We both forgot. The next day, I looked out from our dining room window, and our canopy had collapsed from the water weight and the wind. And there was at least, 6-12 inches of water around our rv. A guy from good Sam came and removed the canopy from our rv. AH YES, GOOD TIMES!!!! Gotta laugh about those times.

I spent most if my young life on and around Taneycomo, having grown up in Branson. I think the Corp. of Eng. did you wrong, it was not a flood condition it was Table Rock Dame opening up fast.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We will roll with it. It's all part of the adventure. We are having a blast and collecting great campfire stories.

[@michaellineback7487]

Harold not to be contrary, but the situation was completely wild. Just so you know the full story. The campground they were at is owned by the City of Branson. The City is the one who made them move. The first two rows of campsites were underwater, with ducks swimming around them. BTW the area was only supposed to get between 1 and 2 inches in a 24 hour period. The news in Branson reported 5 to 6 inches of rain in 12 hours! So there was no choice but to release at Table Rock in that type of situation. It was wild, in our camper at another campground it sounded like hail hitting our camper. But it was just Rain fast and furious. There was a pretty significant landslide across from the Bridge going from Branson to Forsythe on 76. Had to close 76 till MODOT and other engineers could validate that it was safe to open 76 back up. Pictures on the news showed about a 100 foot section of guard rail hanging out in mid air. The situation was just bad.

Crazy story about that water! ~ Diana

[@WaywardWaggs]

Ya. It is dangerous stuff. We will listen to the first warning next time.

[@LifeisBetterExploring]

Glad you made it safe. Thanks for sharing this experience. New sub here!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you do much. It could have been a lot worse. Now we have a great campfire story to tell. We made another epic memory today. Can't wait to share that one too. 😂

[@geraldkoth654]

Noah. How long can you tread water? My "disasters" are all rain related too. MUD, trailer buried to the axles. Three times.

[@WaywardWaggs]

😂

[@MickeyMouse-bo5hj]

Oh I Was Thinking, Maybe You Could Print A Checklist, And Seal It In Some Waterproof Plastic. Leave It By The Door, Maybe Add Some Outdoor Lights That Run On Battery. Just A Thought. Thank You For The Video! I'm Glad You Guys Made It!!

[@WaywardWaggs]

We will definitely put some emergency proveedures in place. Thanks for the great ideas.

[@Edpalomares54]

Dang it started like holy crap we forgot to bring a slide in or something and it fell off...lol...but you lost a welcome mat! Anyhow still enjoyed the video...Happy Veterans. Day!

[@WaywardWaggs]

😂 Thank you. 🇺🇸

[@teon39]

Did you guys enjoy your stay at Branson Lakeside RV Park? It sounds like y’all had an electrifying experience!!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Glad it wasn't too electrifying! 🤣 It was a great park though. We would stay there again.

[@staceysepulveda1838]

MO in the fall has crazy weather. We're glad you survived.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It was crazy. It was only supposed yo rain for a few hours and it rained for 2 days.

[@susangriffis4122]

You two are a Hoot 🤣 You would be a blast to travel with!!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Awe, thanks Susan 😊. Maybe our paths will cross some day!

[@MickeyMouse-bo5hj]

"That Was A Great Training Exercise," Ha Ha Ha! Jesus Was Definitely Watching Over You!! I Think The RV Life Is Good For The Three Of You!!! Hope You Feel Better Soon!!!! Give Scout A Hug For Us!!!!!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you! It makes for a good story.

[@debbye243]

First time I’ve watched you guys. Loved it, but sorry you had such excitement.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment. It could have been worse. It's all part of the journey and experience. Makes for a great campfire story.

[@Wylv_YT]

My first time watching your channel. that was a funny story !

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you for watching. It could have been worse. It was a fun story to tell.

[@raallen1468]

Lake Taneycomo floods often......

[@WaywardWaggs]

Wish we had known. It was only supposed to rain for a few hours and ended up raining for two days straight.

[@susanamberg3960]

Watching this on 11/7, scary time, keeping your head about you in that type of situation is key. Glad your ok. The ad at the beginning of your vlog was for flood barriers by Aquafragma. Lol.

[@WaywardWaggs]

lol. That is so ironic. Thanks for watching and your concern in you comment.

[@troy1420]

Would have LOVED to see Leslie's triple lutz...maybe in the future keep a go-pro near the stairs? Great video always a joy to watch!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Maybe next time she will stick the landing. 🤣

[@KBryan1964]

You two are funny as hell.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thanks. We have a great time; even in panic mode.

[@jaytibbles2223]

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thank you! 🇺🇸

[@ApartmentB]

So frustrating! I heard Uranus had some great fudge, you should go back there!

[@WaywardWaggs]

🤣 I don't think Uranus has a very good escape route.

[@ApartmentB]

I heard there is only one way in and one way out!

[@WaywardWaggs]

@@ApartmentB 🤣

[@ilovelucy7073]

You guys had me 😂 laughing. I guess i should not laugh, but I couldn’t help it. Glad you are safe.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Glad we can look back and laugh too. Thanks so much for watching and laughing along with us.

[@susandowdy9446]
