This entry is from last week - Friday morning, April 6th. Didn't bother connecting to internet that night, so just posted today.
The above pictures include "The Worlds Biggest Cross (from somewhere in Texas, of course), which somewhat ironically had its gift shop flattened by a tornado, and snow from Southern Ks.
Since Amarillo, the weather has been turning colder. Thursday riding through northern Texas and Oklahoma, had the heater on much of the time. Northern Texas is certainly prettier than central, with a very “great planes” look to it. Passing in to Oklahoma, only signs were duplicated – one either right next to, or in front of the other. In most cases, they were identical, but in a few cases, the “new” sign had deleted a city from the list of destinations… Perhaps a government coverup for an abducted city (sorry, still recovering from Roswell J ).
We are now in the little town of Wellington, Ks. Po-dunk camp ground (someone used to have a farm here), charge $22 for about $2 of power and water – what a racket, but tired travelers and all, we bellied up. It is snowing, though the snow melts when it hits the ground. I wondered why the heaters were going all night. Relatively cozy in our little beds here.
One tire is nearly tread bear, we will have to get a replacement in Wichita. Hope to be at friends in Leavenworth KS tonight (Friday) .
