Honey . . . we are STILL in Kansas. Now really someone should fix this. Seriously.
The drive from Limon, Colorado to El Dorado, Kansas was ... ummm . . . interesting. It was so long and took forever. The land was flat and dusty. We saw lots of farm land, oil rigs, wind turbines and grain silos. And more farm land, oil rigs, wind turbines and grain silos.
Our only fun point of the day was eating at McDonalds. This was our first fast food stop of this trip and the first time visiting McDonalds in years.
Our next little detour took us through Marion, KS. The airstreamguy.com resides here. Since we were so close we had to do a drive by.
Finally we landed at El Dorado State Park in Kansas. You would think that with over 1,000 campsites and maybe only being at a 10% capacity it would be easy to find a campsite. Nope.
The signage is inadequate. Roads that are on their maps don't exist. And there is much difficulty figuring out which sites have what amenities and which campground section is where in the park. Then when you find a site you have to drive miles back out to the pay station to secure your chosen site.
Once settled in our gorgeous lake front site we were exhausted but happy. The sunset was beautiful and we actually had time to enjoy a campfire.
