As we were wide awake early, we decided to just get going and were probably on the road by 7:30. The trip was uneventful but we could tell from the sky that we most likely would be having rain later in the day. We got to Goodland KOA around 11 a.m. just about the time when most travelers have to depart. The park's owner came out to get us registered and escorted to our site. We don't like staying at KOA's for a number of reasons but when it is basically the only game in town, we will bite the bullet. I must say that this KOA has been a very pleasant surprise and by far is the nicest one we have ever stayed at. The grounds are park-like, clean, and well laid out. You can tell there is pride of ownership here. It is also far enough from the freeway so there isn't any highway noise and I haven't heard a train yet at all lol.
After lunch, John cleaned the end cap of bugs and decided that he was going to wash the trailer's roof as he could work in the shade of a tree and the afternoon temperature was pleasant. While he was up there scrubbing, I made good use of my time by doing some laundry.
Around 3 p.m. I became aware that we were in for some severe weather with the possibility of large hail, damaging winds, and a possibility of a tornado. Yikes! John asked the owner about where to go for cover if needed. He told John that if the siren goes off, to head for his house as they have a cement basement. Just in case, I put together a bag with all our "important" stuff to grab should we have to head to shelter. Thankfully, the storm seems to be splitting up and going around us. Whew. We have seen some lightning and heard some long rolling thunderclaps but thankfully, nothing serious. I will be up for a while keeping an eye on the radar while my dear husband sleeps lol.
