Russell, KS

The RV park in Liberal was just across the street from a set of railroad tracks. We had at least three trains tooting their horns during the night. That certainly interrupts one's sleep I can tell you for sure.

We were on the road by 9 a.m. Green fields, cattle ranches, and oil pumps (grasshoppers) were abundant in our journey northward. We did see a red fox near the road as well as a male wood duck enjoying a large puddle.

Most of the towns that we drove through were pretty small (blink and you were through them). We stopped in Great Bend for lunch. Some of their main street was all paved with brick for several blocks. We had a very bumpy ride until we got through town.

We pulled in to Russell around 2 p.m. The RV park is definitely not a destination location but will be fine for two nights.

After getting settled in, John washed the end cap of the rig as we had massive bug splat. It will be nice not having to get up and get moving tomorrow. We will get our laundry caught up, tanks emptied, and water tank filled for a trip to the factory in Smith Center, KS.
