Lake Meade Here We Come

Monday morning we visited a wonderful museum in Tucumcari, NM before we left the area.

Then we made our way to Liberal, KS. The most interesting thing we saw was near Dalhart, TX. There were two of the largest Stock Yards one could ever imagine. You couldn't see where they ended for it was too far away. The poor cows waiting to be butchered kind of took my appetite away for a big juicy hamburger.

By late that afternoon we finally located the Mid-America Air Museum in Liberal, KS. They exhibited over 100 airplanes. There were war planes and helicopters, experimental planes, and private planes. It was so interesting that we stayed in their parking lot that night and toured the museum again the next morning.

Because of sever wind advisories we left Liberal, Kansas and headed for Lake Meade State Park early in the day. Sure glad we were off the road when the wind was at its peak. While at Lake Meade we visited the Dalton Gang Museum at Meade, KS and the Dodge City museum. Both were great museums. Trevor and Willard went metal detecting back at the lake and found about 35 cents in coins. And they also went Geo caching. I caught up on my email messages, paid some bills, and had our mail stopped. It was a good stop.

Today we headed East on HWY 54. We are staying in a small RV park in Eureka, KS. We found one geo-cache, but couldn't find the other. We explored the area and discovered a nice size lake about 5 miles out of town. Then back to town for a Shake we went. Now, we are just lounging around, me on the computer and Willard and Trevor working Sudoku puzzles. It's a lazy afternoon, warm with a gentle breeze. Tomorrow we plan on being in Missouri. Life is good. I think I'll go take a nap......
