Maybe we ARE easily entertained! Finding the Great Plains and Kansas fascinating!  The vast space, windmill farms, oil derricks, acres of sunflowers, prairies and grasslands are easy on the eye.  You need the mind set of admiring cloud formations…. 🙂 

We departed MO on the late side as we had to get some maintenance issues addressed on the RV.  Pulled into Salina, KS early evening and enjoyed an eclectic left over dinner.  This morning we were up early and pulled off an amazing run on a dirt road, wheat field maze.  The sun was glowing off of the wheat and you could see for miles, and all you could hear was the crunch of gravel beneath your feet.  Took a few photographs near by the campground and also had a bunny photo bomb the T-Pee! Before pulling back onto I-70, we visited the first Starbucks  off I-70 if you were driving from the West.  Guess we have to wait for Denver for next one! lol  

Planning on arriving Rancho Del Rio on the Colorado River for the next few days before heading up to Yellowstone National Park.  Internet will be a necessity tomorrow AM as Savannah needs to attend her Calvert Academy virtual class.  We have found doing school on the road is not as easy as one might think.  We both get a little RV sick, but I’m sure we will acclimate.  Otherwise after dinner school may be in order!  I love the myth that home schooling can be done anywhere (yes it can) but that is tough when there are so many fun things to do and see at the same time!  We will be digging for the discipline to get it done.  Luckily we started a month early which offers some extra flexibility.

I have to give a huge shout out to Sarah Baker.  She is a long time friend from the islands who was born and raised in the CO area… she has the inside scoop and sending oodles of information on where to stay, how to drive and not catch the RV on fire! ;)! My personal camping concierge!

PS.. The 2 dogs, 2 cats and one fish are doing great and so far no issues with kitty box odors. whew.
