Heading Home Day Four

Although the traffic has been light there are a lot of vehicles with plates from Canada, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.  Lots of people heading home to the snow and cold.  I can’t imagine they are all going to tap trees to make syrup!

this mornings temp was a cool 30 deg…  with the space heater and furnace we are able to keep the RV pretty comfortable. the one good thing about living in the RV is that it does not take very long to warm it up or cool it down!

Well I have heard from some people that Kansas is the most boring state! We had lots of wildlife around our campground, deer, turkey, birds fox.  today as we were driving we seen 3 different instances of coyotes.  two were alone and one was a pack.  we are assuming about 100 snow geese (could have been Ross’s goose), lots of hawks, the Flint Hills were beautiful and lakes with snow all around them and the water was open, (we don’t see that in NW Wisconsin, the snow melts well before the lakes open). I guess its all a matter of perception and expectations.  we seen another lone coyote in Missouri too!  the lakes and ponds are frozen by the time we get to Kansas City.

Stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch along with about 200 other people.  they moved people pretty quickly.  food as usual was pretty good.

we were planning on staying the night in Missouri but our campground is closed, probably because of last weeks snow storm. So instead we continued to southern Iowa. a little bit closer to home!  The weather forecasters are calling for lots of snow in Northern Iowa and Southern Mn!  We kept driving until we got to Osceola:

Casino and RV Park and the RV park is open!  no water available but plowed out sites and electricity for $20!

Of course it cost more than $20 after we donate a few dollars…

Plan for tomorrow is to wait and see..
