Missouri to Kansas

Last night we found a quiet shady campground right off the interstate, Deer Rest, and our pull-through campsite even had a view of a little lake. Ken was so impressed he took 44 pictures. Thanks to Woodalls! This was in the town of Warsaw, Missouri, near the Harry S. Truman Reservoir.



Warsaw's reflection lake was just a few feet from our trailer.










The lake offered attractive views in several directions.















Someone had set aside a nice spot with a good view of the lake.









This morning we got up early and headed out for a full day on the road. For the first part of the trip we were in wooded rolling hills, but towards the end we were in endless Kansas prairie.

On the way we passed through Junction City, KS, where we had been earlier, when we came to tour the New Horizons facility. Deja vu....only this time, instead of anticipating a tour of that plant and of Peterson's and visiting Chris in Iowa, we are headed in to Smith Center for repairs.

We decided to stop in Concordia, KS, and make the rest of the trip in the morning, but neither our directories nor Google Maps showed any campgrounds nearby, so we thought we'd spend the night in a Wal-Mart parking lot. On the way into town, we checked at a gas station and were told there was a small RV park at the Armory, so that is where we are now, just off US 81, at a very nice little campground with level pull throughs, electric, and water, and the fee is .... a donation.
