Captain’s Blog August 21, 2011 (Day 107) Driving Home, Russell Kansas

We left Mary’s Lake CG around 11 AM. We were both nervous about hooking up the car and towing it again. Ron said we had to do it and make sure everything was OK before leaving the area.

I don’t think I mentioned that when setting up at Mary’s Lake CG we had an incident with our right front leveler. Ron usually places blocks under the front levelers but had miscalculated on the right. The ground was gravel so the block twisted, wedging the two sides of the right front  pad and bent it up.  Soooo,  Needless to say we were frustrated that another problem occurred – this time it was our fault.  Only we could hope is that the Jacks would store properly.

Thank goodness as we traversed the last of the mountains through Colorado everything seemed  to be OK. We still were worried that something else would happen. For the first time in his life, Ron was paranoid.

Once on flat land we both felt more at ease and Ron was in the driving mood. The ride through Kansas was just as long and  boring as on the way out. We stopped for lunch and then for dinner. There was a great breeze blowing so we decided to spend the night at a rest area.

We stopped in Russell Kansas at the rest area around 9 PM. Ron drove over 400 miles so was tired and ready to call it a day. Unfortunately, there was no breeze and the temp had climbed. Oh, Oh,  we felt another bad sleep night coming on.image

It was only 50 miles down the road but the weather was completely different. Didn’t see that coming. Once again we ran the generator to turn on the AC’s. We went to be around 10 PM hoping to sleep through the night.
