Can’t Take the Pressure

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 started off nice and cool at around 21C. The sky ahead looked quite black and threatening, but we never caught up with the bad weather although the roads were wet in places.

The trip today was mostly downhill, literally. For the first time in a couple of months we descended below 1000 ft. There were a number of wind farms along the I-70, given the way the wind was always blowing at the campground, they must produce a fair amount of electricity.

The scenery changed from large wheat and corn fields to gently rolling, wooded hills. About 350 kms of the trip was Interstate and the remaining 150 kms on smaller, but straight roads.

We arrived at the campground around 2 PM, and the truck surpassed itself, not a single problem the whole day!!

Unlike the previous campground, this one was pretty full when we arrived, I think it is going to be more tourist traffic than itinerant.

We also seem to be a bit closer to civilisation, perhaps I’ll get the new kitchen taps in tomorrow!
