It's time to get back to the blogging world after nearly 3 months. We've been camped at Cottonwood Campground in Bonner Springs, Kansas the entire time. When we came, winter was still hanging on with bare trees and cold temps. We even had snow on May 3rd. It's now late June with temps forecast to be close to 100 degrees this upcoming week so it's time to head westward to higher elevations and cooler temps.
We've had a great time while here visiting with family and friends. We've spent many delightful days watching over our grandson Brody. He is so much fun to be around and we are blessed to be a part of his life. Our sons, Jared and Matthew are doing well and it was so good to spend time with them as well. Being away from them during the fall and winter months was difficult for us. The time away from them made us think about how important they are to us and how much we love them. We've had so many good times with old friends as well.
We're planning to leave on July 1st for a short trip down to Springdale, Arkansas to visit Wheels RV in order to have some warranty work performed on the 5th wheel. Work to be done is to repair the ice maker, hot water heater, and the stove top cover. I'm also having an inverter installed. That way we'll be able to do some "boondocking" while on our way out west.
After a couple of days in Arkansas, it's off to Wyoming. We have a one month reservation at Deer Haven RV Park in Saratoga, Wyoming. Our campsite is located directly on the bank of the North Platte River. While there I hope to do lots of fly fishing right out the back of the RV. Barbara plans to do lots of reading on her Nook. We also hope to have many pleasant days driving up into the Snowy Range and the Sierra Madre's, taking many hikes while enjoying magnificent scenery.
Stay tuned!
