chore day in Kansas

Monday 6/17 (Day 293)



Fields of corn...acres of corn...miles and miles of corn....guess we're in Kansas!

We drove a lot today, with very little stopping, except for construction work. We ended up here in Lyndon, KS, a little ways from Topeka. This has been a "chore" day. Because we got here in the afternoon, Judy was able to do laundry and Harris was able to put a new valve gate for the black water on Howie. Just like home...always something to fix!
We're stopped for the night at Crossroads RV Park...seems like a nice, quiet place about 30 miles south of Topeka. Very little traffic out here. We'll be able to see stars tonight instead of thunderclouds, and hear crickets instead of trains. Yay!

 (A side note since there wasn't much to write about today.) We've gone just over 2000 miles with very little on the interstate. Our gas mileage has averaged almost 26 mpg with the highest 26.5  around Yellowstone (all the 45 mph limits). This also includes the tail wind when traveling west to east and the gradual descent onto the midwest plains. For sure this will be very different when returning.

Total miles driven today = 305
