Heartland of America

Nebraska & Kansas show a tint of green already. Lots of hog farms, feed lots, John Deere and farm supply stores. Just saw a Montana Mike's Steakhouse here in Kansas. Montana sells. It's 45-50 degrees. We ran out of snow at Casper. Heard Dallas, TX got a foot of snow yesterday.

It's fun to get up and raid the fridge as we drive but you have to release the lockbar and relock so the door doesn't release all the cans and bottles. Only one wine bottle rolled out so far on a curve-- didn't break.:)

We are in the heart of tornado alley but looks peaceful now. Mike and a fellow RVer just waved. Truckers don't wave as they hate RVers - same weight but don't have to stop at weigh station, no CDL required and RVs can go 75 rather than 70.

Mike started seismographing down here when he was right out of high school. He bought a used drill from his uncle's brother, Steve Becktel, while in Topeka, KS and headed to Tioga, ND in the middle of winter.
