We took the drive to Sylvan Grove to the Post Office to pick up our water regulator (the one left behind in Deming, NM) that Barbara so graciously mailed to us. We got to the Post Office at 11:15 a.m. They close for lunch between 11 and 12:30 p.m. Great. There is not much of anything in Sylvan Grove. With the help of the GPS we located a restaurant in the small town of Lucas and headed off to kill some time and fill out tummies. John had a Chocolate Malt for $2.90 that was served in a chilled glass and by the smile on his face, I think it passed his taste test. Lunch for two, a cone for me, a malt for John, and a tip all for less than $18, you can't really complain about the cost.
When we got back to Sylvan Grove, the Post Office was just reopening and our package was there. Thank you again Barbara!
After looking at some of the local grocery stores, we decided to take the drive into Salina to shop at a Dillons. A good call on our part and worth the drive. The area along I-70 heading west has a lot more rolling hills than we would have thought for Kansas. The drive to Salina was also our most eastern venture to date.
We passed a number of wind farms because as I've said before Kansas blows! Good use of all that wind. Some of the windmills are right along the highway . . . seems like you could reach out and touch them.
