Kansas to home



In KS we ran into gusts up to 40 mph on Sunday.   Got a campsite in Hesston -where Hesston Farm Equipment has been built  for almost 100 years.  Bitter cold with the wind.  We went to the store  and then baked brownies, peanut butter cookies, spaghetti.   I was helpess during Makoshika Basketball, but it survived and so did I.  No one is indispensible but Dea sure pulled thru then broke her ankle on Sunday night.  I spent time revising checklists.

Now that we are traveling today, Monday, we see that not one of the wind farm blades is turning on I-70.  Today the winds are 12-14mph so don't know if they have an automatic shutdown high winds and have to be reset.  Blades were spinning on our way down a month ago.  A second wind farm farther west was spinning fine this morning.  And KS sprays their roads with salt so all that care Mike took is on the back of the RV.  Spent the night at Fishberry campground out of Valentine with gaggles of geese flying and honking overhead.  This will be our first night stop from now on.  Good wifi, high amps , sufficient gravel and wide turns with now low overhanging branches.  I could design a good R.V park now and would put in a workout center as well as nature walk.  Been a fun journey with my hubby.  Look forwsard to the next adventure and to seeing friends and family
