View of the day-Load number two ready to hit the road.
We made it back to the camper around 1:30am, and after a well deserved sleep, were roused by the sound of more rain. We had driven through a lot of rain on the way home, and it was really coming down as we passed by the bins where the Frieghtliner was parked. Our concern was that we wouldn't be able to get out to the highway if the road was wet...not to mention the narrow corner that Al had to make to get on to the main road.
We got the camper ready to go, finished up some last minute shopping after lunch, fueled up at the elevator and paid the ever present fuel bill. By 3:30 we were officially on our way out of Kansas. The drive was uneventful...just 'shut up and drive' until we reached Elm Creek. After parking the Freighliner by the General at the truck stop, we headed over to the campground and got set up for the night.
We went into town for supper at the bar...we forgot what it was like to be in a place where they allow smoking...the burger was mighty fine though. We went back to the truck stop to get fuel, but when they tried to talk to Al over the intercom, and insisted that he come in with his drivers license before he could pay cash for his fuel...well...let's just say...we went back into town for fuel.
We've had run-ins with them before...it's all but impossible to just buy diesel from this place...third degree over those intercoms that are useless at the best of times, clerks that speak 90mph and then get pi$$ed off when you ask them to slow down and repeat the question...oh, well...
Time to go over and suck up some of their free internet...
