We left our nice RV park in Lamar, CO this morning and stopped at Love's to get fuel. The cost is still down, at least compared to some places, only $3.49.

We traveled east on US50 and are currently in the town of Kinsley, KS. Not really a lot of difference between southeastern Colorado and western Kansas. Pretty much flat to rolling terrain with lots of hay and some corn, but the corn is short and does not look like it will mature into much. There are a lot of feed lots with thousands of head of cows, so maybe they cut it green and feed it to the cows to fatten them up for market.

When we came through Dodge City, we found lots of feed lots and again, hundreds of head of cows being fed up for market.

US50 is a pretty good road with some areas 4 lane divided and others a wide blacktop. We did find some construction today and a stretch of one lane road but it will be nice when they get done with it. Not a lot of traffic and not too many trucks, mostly hauling grain.

US50 follows along the Santa Fe Trail and joins up with the Cimmeron Trail at Dodge City. There are viewing areas where you can still see the ruts of the trails of years ago. This was really a part of the wild west at one time.


We are currently at the 4 Acres RV Park and will be here until Friday morning when we will head toward Salina and the next hamfest on Sunday.

The photos are of the RV park in Lamar, CO. It appears relatively new, only a few years old and it has a lot of nice things, a small putting green, a stage where they have held several weddings, a covered area where they can have group gatherings and BBQs as well as fund raisers. He has 8 motel rooms and probably 25 RV spaces. A really nice facility all things considered.
