=20 We rolled in here around 1:30 this afternoon. I thought the
transmission m= ight not survive the trip up the canyon, but it got us
here fine. I'm glad= that trip wasn't any longer than it was.
We've been taking exte= nsive notes on our trip that we can post
later. Yesterday was a pretty lon= g day. 13 hours of driving. We got
to our regularly scheduled stop in Wak= eeney Kansas and went to check
in. I had been watching a really ugly black= thunderstorm north of the
highway. I had figured it was okay as long as i= t stayed north of us.
Usually storms track east, right? According to info= rmation I was
given at the KOA, this particular storm was coming straight s= outh,
making a beeline for the campground. They said that the highway patr=
ol had advised them it was creating golfball sized hail and 70 MPH
winds. = We decided to keep going. Did another 110 miles to the KOA in
Goodland.
But at least that took some time off our trip today, which wasn't = so
bad.
Another update: Mike rolled in about 45 minutes ago (or =
thereabouts). We've identified Walt's spot, but no sign of Walt or
Ingrid = or their truck. DML HQ is currently full of muggles, but
tomorrow we get t= o kick them all out and assimilate the entire area.
Korey, your spot is ri= ght next to us, we're both on the creek which
should make some nice burblin= g sounds to fall asleep to. Just
remember when you wake up that it isn't r= aining, it's just the
creek.
That's it for now. GPS tracks and = pictures and more details to
follow once we get settled. Unfortunately we = haven't been able to
get any WiFi signal down at our site, so I had to walk= up to the
office to log in. Hopefully someone will figure out a solution.=
