We saw Dorothy with Toto, the tin man, the scarecrow and the cowardly lion the other day. We must be in Kansas!  

We have started our slow journey home. Although this has been a wonderful trip, I need to go home and hug my cats. In addition to losing our horse, one of our cats died suddenly and unexpectedly last week of unknown causes.

We still have a few sights to see along the way, of course! Kansas has nice state parks, mostly on lakes made from dammed up rivers. As in many of the states we've been in, dammed up rivers are the only lakes they have. We forget how lucky we are to have so many natural lakes in Michigan! I imagine Kansas parks must get a lot of visitors in the summer because most of the rest of Kansas looks like this:

We were the only ones in this campground even though it was 70+ degrees during the day. We did see a few fishermen sitting on the dam in the afternoon, though.

I can only imagine that there must have been a lawsuit at some time that inspired this sign. I doubt Kansans are that dumb! Denny and I saw the lake right away.😛

There have been no comments this year on our blog. I’m wondering if the comments don’t show up, don’t work or if nobody is reading it. Please let me know. Thanks!
