We've traveled from Arizona to Kansas; on Monday we'll take the 5th wheel in for factory warranty service. Nothing major, mostly a few cosmetic things and an addition. The wind howled almost all the way; we saw the worst fuel mileage since we bought the HitchHiker - 7.5 mpg. We've taken our time getting here, trying to stay out of nasty weather.

Izzy continues to impress me with the traveling... she rides great and doesn't make a fuss. And who knew cats could be so good with navigation...


And when we are set up for the night, she is very entertaining...

The land traveling has been going well; the HitchHiker is comfortable and the truck and 5th wheel combination is great going down the road. Going across Kansas yesterday with the wind blowing like stink, we saw a "witchy-woman" fly by on a bicycle. Izzy isn't Toto, but she was pretty concerned about the weather. This is the first time she's seen a storm since she's been part of our family. The rain pounded, there was hail, thunder and lightning. Tornado watch/warnings all around us. April in Kansas - go figure? And the cold, as in 32º tonight.

The city campground in Chanute is really decent - cement sites, water and electric, and the first 48 hours are free; then $10 per day after that. It's great to see small towns welcome RVers; it certainly adds to the local economy. And with NuWa here in town, it's a great situation.



Sunshine and warming to 65º is predicted for tomorrow - may get out and about on the bikes. Our service is scheduled for Monday morning, so we have some time to check out the area.
