Kansas Boogie (8/3 - 8/5) POST 5

 We left Branson on Friday 8/3 and headed west across Kansas. Our first stop was Mill Creek Campground in Paxico, Ks. This campground was near the highway and other than the railroad tracks and a shallow creek there is very little around. We took a walk in 95 degree heat to the play ground and down by Mill Creek. Other than the frogs and the grasshoppers not much was moving on this hot afternoon. We did fill the kids in on chiggers and they watched every where they walked. Jen had researched things to do in the area but after our brief walk no one had the energy to do anything.

We settled in for the evening and during the night we were treated to passing of the trains. This is a common event in many of the western campgrounds.

Next day we once again headed west across this long state of Kansas. Our next stop was a KOA in Goodland, Ks. We set up and decided to find a restaurant and then take in a movie. We lucked out on the restaurant but because it was so crowed we missed our movie. Everyone had a great dinner so the night was ok.

I like to cross this part of the country as fast as I can because I have a fear of the Tornado. The weather on this crossing was perfect.
