Three States in Three Seconds

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Barry

Some more rain overnight, but a sunny start to the day. After breakfast we headed south to Fort Scott, Kansas. This is the location of an old fort that was established back in the 1840’s along the “permanent Indian line”, … Continue reading →

Settling In

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Barry

Ahhhhh.. Cooler temperatures, but an increase in humidity. I guess you can’t win them all. We woke up to a sunny, but cooler day. It was tempting to switch off the A/C, but the outside humidity dictated otherwise. After breakfast … Continue reading →

We seem to have got this packing up down to a fine art now, within 45 minutes of falling out of bed we were on the road. Today’s destination was Louisburg Kansas, on the Kansas – Missouri border. The day … Continue reading →

Last Night

Posted on June 27, 2016 by Barry

Again a coolish night, no problem sleeping. After breakfast I headed out to the local hardware store to pick up the fittings I needed to install the new faucets. Well that was an exercise in futility, the store had nothing that … Continue reading →

Thou Should not Attempt Work on a Sunday

Posted on June 26, 2016 by Barry

A cool night last night, down to 18C at one stage. We managed to leave the A/C off all night and most of the morning. In keeping with the idea that this stop is a “vacation within a vacation”, nothing … Continue reading →

Things That go Bang in the Night (and Day)

Posted on June 25, 2016 by Barry

About 2 AM we awoke, or were awoken, by the sound of rain and thunder. There was also a near non stop display of lightning from above the clouds. After watching the spectacle for a while, it was back to … Continue reading →

Not Much Happened Today

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Barry

A coolish night, the A/C didn’t need to run all night long! Today was a vacation day, of sorts! This morning was reasonably cool, so we sat outside for a while in the breeze. Then I got bored! I needed to do … Continue reading →

That Didn’t Work Out too Well

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Barry

It must have cooled down quite a bit last night as the A/C was not running when we woke up. After breakfast we decided to head out for a day trip to Great Bend, about 100 miles away. There was … Continue reading →

As Promised

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Barry

The Air Conditioning worked throughout the night to keep us cool, I fear it is going to be working 24/7 until we leave Alabama! The morning was a cleaning morning for Lyn, and I had a couple of things to … Continue reading →

All is Forgiven (well Almost)

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Barry

An early wake-up call for us today. Most of the pack-up work was done last night, and we were on the road by 07:50. The first 100km or so of the trip was on 2 lane and 4 lane roads … Continue reading →
