After spending a great day visiting with my brother and sidter-in-law in the Denver area, we spent Monday doing errands and chores. I had a blood draw for an upcoming doctor's viit. We then did weeks worth of laundry at a local laundromat. Using the laundromat always reminds me of how grateful I am to have a washer and dryer at my disposal at home. $18 and about 2 hours later, we went grocery shopping to fill up the refrigerator and pantry. We just kicked back at the RV for what was left of the afternoon.
Tuesday was a drive day. We had made a reservation at a campground off I70 in Wakeeney, KS.From the campground in Larkspur, south of Denver, it was an interesting drive just watching the change in scenery. We went from hill and mountain views to rolling hills to plains in just a matter of hours. Trees gave way to farm fields. We rolled past large windmill farms, a herd of antelope, huge fields of sorghum, hay bales to the horizon, a large stockyard chock full of cattle and complete with a slew of mounds of manure. One of the windmill farms we passed was completely inactive. Not one vane was moving.
On a political note, we saw a handful of Trump 2020 signs in fields along I70, but not one BIden sign. Come to think of it, in our travels so far (over 3600 miles), we have never seen an RV with a Biden sign,
but have seen many promoting Trump, and usually enthusiastically so (many banners, flags and signs for 1 RV).
Once we arrived in Wakeeney, our attention turned to the hurricane brewing in the Gulf, Delta. Our plan (always subject to change) is to be in Mobile, AL by next Monday. The storm will be gone from the Gulf by then, but we'll have to traverse the remnants as it tracks inland. Rain isn't a problem, but wind over 30 mph is. So we'll be watching the storm's progress closely and be ready to change our plans as need be.
