Toto! We ARE in Kansas!

Your intrepid travelers find themselves near the middle of Kansas. Our first night in Kansas (Garden City) welcomed us with a severe weather watch and thunderstorms. We are now in Wichita, and are experiencing relatively clear weather. We came to Wichita to meet an 89 year old cousin of Barbara's and talk to her about that part of the family. She was thrilled that we stopped to visit her. We had a very nice lunch and learned about her life. She was wonderful to meet and talk to.



One of the reasons we chose this RV park is because they advertise a storm shelter. The shelter is a concrete lined cellar with steel girders for the roof (floor for building above). The campground staff did recommend we go to the shelter if the warning sirens went off! This is certainly new stuff for a couple from Southern California.
