KOA, Goodland, KS, to Millford Lake State Park, KS:    Today was all about wind.  Extreme wind.  I started out driving and didn’t notice the wind until after an hour or so.  In the ten years or so we’ve been traveling around this country, this was the worst winds we’ve experienced.  There was a tornado watch for the whole state of Kansas, but the skies were mostly clear.  That didn’t stop the winds, however.  We had to stop twice for fuel, but we didn’t even stop for food.  I just wanted to get this drive over with.  We’re at the Milford Lake State Park for two nights.  Mike wanted to go to Ft. Riley, home of the 7^th Air Cavalry—a helicopter regiment (we think).  We made it here in one piece, which is amazing.  An RV on Rt. 80 turned over in the extreme winds.  Hopefully, by the time we leave here the weather will have calmed down somewhat.  I had to pry my hand from the “Oh God” bar in the truck.  A couple of glasses of wine later and I’m okay.
