We are at a KOA. This has been our first opportunity to do laundry. This is a one nighter, we should be in Wyoming tomorrow. No pictures today but Lindsay sent those a few days ago. The other pictures deserve an explanation. When the homesteaders arrived in what was to become Kansas there were no trees. The Great Plains were mostly treeless. They needed some way to fence in their newly acquired property and there wasn't any wood to make fence posts. They only had rock. Specifically limestone. There is a layer of limestone 4 or 5 feet below the surface all around where we were camped at Wilson Lake. There are stone pillar fence lines running all over the place. A fence made with stone posts is going to last. I suspect some of those fence lines have been there for over a hundred years. Jenny took that sunset pic. She likes sunsets.
Wow kids all back in school. Time does fly by. There were no trees but obviously lots of rock.
