DAY 23...Another Adventure!
We spent the night at the Sundance-High Plain RV Park in Lamar, Colorado. Nice guys that recently purchased the property and are busy doing renovations. We hit the road a few minutes after 8:00 am. Headed back to Kansas to see Bob one more time before we begin the trek back home.
We followed the 8 Wonders of Kansas map, first stop Windsor Hotel in Garden City, and then we visited the Boot Hill Museum and Town in Dodge City. How fun! We stopped at the Saloon and had a cold Sarsaparilla! We found several other places we would have liked to visit including the Kansas Teachers and Gunfighters’ Wax Museum, the Salt Museum and Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, and the Grand Central Inn in Cottowood Falls. But we will have to save those for another trip!
Then the big “adventure” for the day. We stopped - finally! I was getting rather “hangry” - in Florence, Kansas for fuel. Nothing there but the gas station. I got in back to make our lunch, Rick filled up the tank and then went inside. I followed to get some ice. We got back to the van and the keys were locked inside! Along with my phone and everything else! Rick had to go inside and call 911 to get a hold of someone who could help. They asked if he wanted a tow or a locksmith. Obviously we chose the locksmith. It was 4:40 pm Friday afternoon and we were fortunate that we found someone who could come out! $75 and 20 minutes later, we were back on the road!
We had another beautiful day to drive, sunny skies and 58 degrees!
We will be here for a few days and then begin heading North!
