Awake: 6:56am Temp 56 sleep 7+25 sunny-windy overnight @ Valley Center, Kansas.
Here is a sample of a simple pull through campsite with an easy off & on from I-135.
Yesterday, from Salina, Kansas, we headed south on I-135, to Valley Center. This morning, we continued south on I-135 to State Road-96, & to US-400 to Baxter Springs; then US-69 into North Miami, Oklahoma & the Newell campground.....arriving @ 12:20pm.
Just obey this sign & you will arrive @ the Headquarters of the Newell Coach Corp.
The Newell campground & the pre-owned coaches are just around the corner.
Today's travel: 209 miles 3+54 time 37 gal fuel used 5.7 mpg 54 mph avg speed.
Excellent roads today for 99% of the time; the last 20-25 miles were bumpy & rough tho.
Those cornering winds of yesterday stayed with us ever since we left Denver & driving east on US-400, we were bucking a good headwind.
After parking, K & I walked over to the pre-owned motorhomes & one Show Coach to see if there's anything new & different. But not knowing the digital combination to look inside the coaches, we were out of luck.
Fortunately we were able to go inside the service building & look around @ a few of the 2010 & 2011 motorhomes.
K & I attended the 5:00pm Mass @ Sacred Heart Catholic Church just down the road.
We stopped at Wal-Mart to pick up some dried peas & a few other goodies on our way back to the campground.
Dinner: Sausage, pepper & onions stoop.
Evening movie: "King Solomon's Mines" with Andrew Martin, Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger, Richard Carlson, Hugo Haas. Remake of H. Rider Haggard story is given polished production, with Granger-Kerr-Carlson trio leading safari in search for legendary diamond mines. 1950. Not so bad adventure story; once seen though is enough.
Lights out: 1:25am.
