We said goodbye to Colorado family and to the mountains, and headed east. Unremarkable trip on the Interstate except for a strong southerly crosswind which kept us on our toes. Our Harvest Hosts stay at the winery went so well we sought out a host in extreme eastern Colorado, which turned out to be a farmhouse owned by a woman who is over her head when it comes to getting rid of junk and trash. A strong wind was blowing, but it was still uncomfortably hot until the sun went down. i got up to close up the trailer windows and vents at 3 a.m., and was rewarded with a bright starry sky. Should also mention that at Burlington we briefly visited a 100+ year old carousel, beautifully painted and accompanied by an equally old pipe organ.
6-11 to Salina, Kansas
went halfway straight across Kansas on I-70, stopped for the night at a KOA at Salina. Nothing exciting, just made tracks. Across from the KOA is a museum of antique farm implements, including a steam tractor. had hoped to visit the Eisenhower museum and library at Abilene tomorrow morning, but need timed reservations and the only time avail was too late in the day.
