I know it has only been a few weeks since we arrived in the Great Plains. However, I have already nearly forgotten what the mountains look like. We are anxiously awaiting our first view of the Rockies later today. The cool air that comes with that will be appreciated as well. To say the least!!!
Don't get me wrong, it is never easy to say goodbye to friends, especially ones that have been a big part of your life since childhood. However, it was 111 degrees F (40+ degrees C) on Tuesday so the thought of cool air is exciting! I only wish that our family and friends could follow us and experience our views from above.
Last night we made it back to the town of Greensburg, Kansas. We are staying at the Greensburg RV park which is right on the main highway. It is only $15 for an electric (20,30, & 50 amp) hookup, and they have a fantastic restroom with hot showers. We had talked about going all the way into Dodge City but really wanted to pump our money into this amazing little town that was completely wiped away by a tornado in May of 2007. We actually wrote about it as we passed through it a few weeks ago heading the other way. If you haven't had the chance to read it, this town decided to rebuild "Green." As we slept last night, the wind turbines above the town continued to produce electricity. As the sun came out this morning the solar panels located all over the town began their mission to accomplish the same thing. It really is a remarkable little community.
The next couple of days will be spent by the Royal Gorge near Canon City, Colorado. I've never been, and I'm super excited! :O) As always, pictures will follow. For those of you unfamiliar with the Royal Gorge it is worth a quick search on the Internet, but we'll fill you in on what we discover on Sunday's blog. Until then, Happy Trails!
