Gunsmoke RV Park, Dodge City, KS, to Emporia RV Park, Emporia, KS: I drove first again this morning.. Left at 8:45 a.m., stopping for fuel right away. Continued east on Rt. 50 and then headed southeast on Rt. 54/400. Again, a really good two-lane road. Outside of Greensburg, KS, we started seeing signs “8 miles to the deepest hand-dug well in the world.” I thought… great, I’d like to see that. Then “6 miles to the deepest hand-dug well in the world”… then “4 miles to the deepest hand-dug well in the world.” I’m getting really excited now. Finally drive through Greensburg. No more signs and no well. Oh well… Stopped in Goddard and had lunch and then Mike started driving. Headed north on I235 and then wanted to head east on I242, but Mike got confused at this badly-signed intersection and we got turned around a little. When we finally got on I242, headed east until toll road I35. Followed this ribbon of highway through the pretty Flint Hills. Just north of Wichita we started seeing oil well pumps all over the fields. I guess they stop “farming” after the more lucrative oil situation? I wonder if that means eventually we’ll be importing our food from China along with everything else? Staying at the Emporia RV Park just outside Emporia KS. Got set up and relaxed inside in the air conditioning, Had a hard time getting the kitchen slide to go out. A bolt sheared off under the slide about a month ago, but it’s been working fine—up until now. Hope we can get it back in tomorrow (sigh). Think it was in the mid-90s when we pulled in here. Humidity high. Starting to hear cicadas now. Love it! Leave tomorrow for the Columbia, MO, area.
