Triple J RV Park, Russell, KS, to KOA, Oak Grove, MO:  Left around 9:00 this morning continuing east on I70.  After only about 30 minutes on the road a road runner ran out in front of me.  Your first instinct is to swerve to avoid it, but I know better, especially when pulling, and just slowed down.  It turned around and ran the other way just in time.  Whew!  And I didn’t know there were road runners in Kansas!  It’s so hot here maybe he thought he was in Arizona or something. Stopped for food at around 10:00 and I continued driving.  We switched around noon and Mike continued on.  Eastern Kansas is really pretty with the Flint Hills, more trees, streams and rivers.  Drove through Kansas City and saw a lot of new buildings.  Oak Grove is about 30 miles east of Kansas City.  Hot again today.  102 degrees.  One last drive tomorrow.  We should be home by early afternoon.


Kansas City in the haze.
Amost home.
