Almost forgot the most important photo of the day. Once again look at the time and temperature. We got to wear sweaters today (whoop whoop) and we had a lot of rain. Lynda is in her happy temperature range now.

Ok day 2 on the road again (sumbody should sing about now). We went from Wellington Kansas to Grand Island Nebraska today so we are currently about 600 miles into our trip. I posted my usual temperature update so all our Okie friends could be inspired ( notice the time of the temp). Today I got to show my wife another full day of corn fields with some soybean fields mixed in the scenery. I’m always amazed when we come this way of how many streams and rivers Kansas has running thru it. Once again here in Grand Island the temps are great for relaxing but to cold by my standards for swimming. If my grands were here they would probably already be wet but for older guys like me it’s just to cold to swim. Our RV park is beautiful as usual and completely surrounded by corn with the exception of the roadway. I made my usual walk around that I do in every RV park we stay at and as usual I stopped and made new friends. Todays group was from Montana headed to Texas. I told them it was hot there but they said they have always wanted to go so to each their own lol. They said when they left home a few days ago that Bozeman was in a heat wave. It had gotten up to 79 degrees so they think they are prepared for the heat (this is where us southerners say Bless Their Heart). Today we finished up going north and just started our western trail. Tomorrow’s travel takes us from Grand Island to Oglala where we will stay two nights getting ready for the mountains on I80. So till tomorrow evening May God bless and keep you.

Ok I will apologize right from the start for this post. I know that everyone who’s following this page wants to see all the scenery that we saw during the day… well this ain’t one of them. We pulled into the Wellington KOA this afternoon about 1:30 and it was HOT up here. We quickly set up and got under the AC’s. We discussed our options of whether to go into town and eat supper or to fix some delicious ham and cheese sandwiches and then hit the swimming pool. Guess what won out. As you can tell from the photo my wife is in for the evening after our swim. Rest assured if we had seen anything other than cows and corn getting here we would have stopped and taken a shot. But unfortunately if you have ever traveled this way you will know what I mean. Maybe tomorrows travel will bring more to see. We leave Wellington Kansas and head to Grand Island Nebraska.
