It’s Sunday and we only have a short distance to cover to get to Smith Center, Kansas; which we need to be at by Tuesday morning. We drove about 2 hours this morning (after a leisurely wake-up) and stopped at a Wal-mart Supercenter to pick up some items that we needed. We searched for a store that had Wi-Fi but to no avail. We drove a ways further and stopped for the night at a rest area.
It is blasted hot here today…around 90 degrees..and uncomfortable. There have been extreme changes in temps from each area we visit and we never know if it’s going to be a sweatshirt day (a Penn College one no less) or a tank top and short kind of day. We’re hoping for a quick cool down once the sun goes down today.
These ingenious Midwesterners…they have found a way to make use of those pesky used tires that no one seems to be able to get rid of. Driving down the highway you’ll see them adorning fenceposts with sayings like, “No Hunting” (no need to buy those cheap signs that deteriorate in the weather) or one area of the countryside had reminders that “Jesus is Coming”. Cute, huh ? and what lasting signs they make. Take a lesson from the mid-west….if you can’t dispose of it, hang it up and display it proudly!
While at the rest stop this morning, a woman stopped me and asked if we had been on the Alaska excursion with the other Excel RV owners. I said that we hadn’t been and we began talking about this and that…Penn State..Penn College (I had a PCT t-shirt on)…traveling…Alaska….Turns out she is from Dushore and left home in early May for a 48 day trip to Alaska and is making her way back to PA. Small world…
