Kansas Back to the Prairies

This will be short - it was a long day. We are now in the High Plains area of Kansas.

We are on the prairies again and the driving is relatively flat (long gradual uphill) with a ferocious cross wind.

The drive took us right through Kansas City, Missouri where we drove by the Kansas City Royals stadium (for my brother Al) and later just outside of Kansas City, Kansas there was a NASCAR race (for my brother Malcolm) with thousands of people watching. The parking lot was huge. Nobody was at the baseball stadium because the Royals season is over.

The weather when we left Missouri was warm. The weather here is cool. 4 degrees tonight but that is unusual - it is normally -1. The campsite has a warning - "Awnings and the High Planes simply don't mix. Please leave awnings rolled up. we can experience very sudden wind changes.". Once again there are instructions as to what to do incase of severe weather.
