Yes Tipper, we are in Kansas!! We hit the road at 4:45 AM today and really weren't planning on driving just over 600 miles, but about the time we would have normally headed for a campground it dawned on us that with the temperature at 100 degree's we would be just as comfortable in the truck rolling down the road. Betsy mentioned that it might be nice to stop and look at something on the way. She wasn't aware that all attractions are closed when the temp is this high, and besides it's Sunday.
Our dusty, treeless campground leaves something to be desired in the area of attractiveness. But they do have an on site storm shelter!! After seeing some of the permanent residents I think I'd rather stay out in the storm. We hooked up the electric for A/C, and the hose for water and then retreated into the trailer to escape the heat. We also closed all the curtains to help the A/C cool our little trailer. As we sat there, in near dark conditions, listening to the hum of the A/C Betsy commented -"this camping is really neat"!

No pictures today. Just imagine a haze of heat rolling off aluminum.

There are definitely days on the road that are just a journey and a means to an end. Hang in there the mountains will be at your dorrstep tomorrow! Make sure you keep Tipper close by, I don't want him sucked into a movie.

Glad to hear you are finally on the road after a short delay. Your scenery and temps should greatly improve tomorrow.

Did you at least stop at a Dairy Queen? I can't imagine a trip without the DQ...
Steak and shake called and they want their floor tiles back ;) Just kidding, I like the floor but I have a bone to pick with people and their trailers right now after being almost killed numerous times coming out here. Hope the temps go down as you travel further west. jeff
