When Kent and Linda Blades saw the peculiar looking vehicle parked nearby while on a trip in Alaska, it was too much to pass up. They had to go and meet the people inside the vehicle and find out who they were and just what they were doing. Little did they know that around a year later they four of them would be visiting on the patio outside the Blades’ home south of Shelbina.
   This is a story about how curiosity was able to create a friendship.
