Deer Creek or Topeka Kansas here we come

Well we left St Louis for an overnight in Topeka on the way to Dodge City. We had beautiful weather for our travel day but both Jo and I must be allergic to soy bean pollen as we were both sneezing. Unusual for Jo not for Allergy Bill. I even broke down and took Allegra despite my resistance to taking antihistamines. That said the rolling prarie and fields of Soy Beans and Sorghum were beautiful. I thought all the Midwest was flat but Kansas had lots of rolling prarie.

After 290 miles and about 6 hours with stops to stretch we arrived at Deer Creek RV Park. The gentleman who checked us in apologized for not putting us with the “others” and commented about us coming from Utah. I was tired and as long as we had a site I said yeah yeah and went to our site. About an hour later 4 Airstreams pulled in with Utah plates and parked next to each other lol. So that’s what he was talking about. Since leaving Airstream we have had many. Comments and questions about us going to “The Rally”. There must have been many Airstream clubs having a Rally which they do but we were lone wolf Airstreamers lol. It was fun to see bigger and smaller and newer and older Airstreams at every campground though.

This campground was nice with cement parking pads and covered shelters with sun shades at every site. Very nice for an overnight. One thing I dont think Ive mentioned that all the Midwest RV campgrounds have is a storm shelter. They dont want us flying over Kansas and landing on witches I guess. And your little dog!!!!

We had a nice meal at the campsite and headed out early the next AM for the Gunsmoke RV Park in Dodge City.

Note the storm shelter on the Map
Mocha liked the cabana

One thought on “Deer Creek or Topeka Kansas here we come

  1. Great tour…. Thanks for your updates, Bill. Exploring the vastness of the USA must be a tremendous adventure. Imagine what it must have been like, for the pioneers, in covered waggons, without the benefits and comforts of the Airstream?!
