On the Road

We got the wheel locks replaced this morning in Salina all as per promised by the Car Dealer.  Then we hit Aldi's and a Dillons for some groceries.  Lunch was from the Dillon's salad bar, which we both really like.

Back to Lindsborg to hook up and hit the road.  We were hitched and driving by 1:30 and drove mostly 2 lane roads to Arkalon Campground, on the banks of the Cimarron River, just a few miles outside of Liberal Kansas.  The only other camper is the campground host.  The Campground is two miles off the highway on a dirt road.  It's located in a grove of Cottonwoods, which is typical of this area.

We are looking forward to showers, despite the fact that the shower room leaves something to be desired.

Ginnie cooked tonight and I did dishes.  We reserve half the meal for tomorrow, so all that is involved is heating up left overs.  This has become our habit, and it works well for us.

I think we are past the really bad weather cells, listening to NPR and assessment of the destruction in OK City.  Horrible.

Tomorrow we cross Oklahoma, Texas and into New Mexico, three states the Aliner hasn't been in.  That leaves Arizona and Louisiana.  To complete the lower 48 we have to pick up eleven states in the northwest.  I'm not sure when that will happen.

The only picture is of the campground and our camper  nothing scenic or noteworthy for the camera to record, unless endless views of grain elevators on the horizon is your cup of tea.
