Day 6 - Little Camper on the Prairie

Well, we ended up in the middle of nowhere.  Really.  It's deserted out here in Kansas.  We have seen lots of giant windmills, lots and lots of wheat fields, a few houses, and fewer towns.  It is easy to imagine Laura Ingalls and her family in their covered wagon rolling across the prairie.  (OK, I know they didn't come this far, but I'm sure the prairies they crossed looked very similar.)  It is beautiful and desolate at the same time.

We are staying at Cedar Bluff State Park.  There is a playground in our "backyard."  We are trying to decide what to do tomorrow as we are due to arrive in Colorado Springs for the Memorial Day weekend.  We are having trouble finding an available campground we like and would prefer to avoid the holiday crowds.  We stayed up way too late trying to figure it all out and think we have a plan which involves staying here one more day and then diverting to Great Sand Dunes National Park in CO.  It will take us a couple days to get there and involves us staying at our first KOA campground.  This "flying by the seat of our pants" will take some getting used to.  So far, so good.

Happy Travels!
