8/31
This morning the wind woke us up blowing at 15 to 20 MPH with gusts to 30. Gusts, on the highway, of 40 or more are dangerous for high profile vehicles like motorhomes. So we are hoping it doesn’t get any worse. We are on the road and the dust is blowing. We are heading east towards Wichita and the wind is straight out of the north. The winds were pretty strong for about 100 miles and then seemed to let up. Last fall when we were coming back to Kansas the wind gusts were so strong we had to stop for 5 hours until the wind subsided and it was safe for us to continue. I think Kansas doesn’t like us. We are staying the night at the Walmart parking lot in Newton. We had dinner at Applebee’s with my brother, Jerry. My other brother, John and his wife, Neva, were supposed to join us but had a last minute plan change. After eating we visited with Jerry’s daughter and family. It is so good to see family again.
