View of the day-The church at Leibenthal, KS in the heart of Post Rock Country.
What is the point of shooting fireworks off at 7am…it’s daylight, so you don’t get the full effect and you waste your evening fun, plus you pi$$ off the neighbourhood. Oh well, Al did want AIS at 9am with the camper hooked up and ready to go…and it was.
We didn’t stop anywhere on the way out of Great Bend with the camper and made it to the campground in LaCrosse in no time at all. The landlord was just mowing what little grass had grown so we had to wait a bit to get parked, but once we got backed in and had everything hooked back up, we were set for a few days.
We grabbed a snack, then headed for the field, did a bit of servicing and then Marilyn cranked it up. Al got Kevin to bring his semi out and it didn’t take long to get it filled since we had a heaping cart load from last night. Al got hold of the elevator guy and they were good enough to dump us twice during the day which left us with enough room to finish the field well before the sun went down.
Al brought the semi into the campground and Marilyn scouted out the new loading spot that we had found just north of Leibenthal. It is always interesting to think about the number of times we have passed through some of these little towns along our tour, wondering about life carrying on in them as if we don’t exist…and we really don’t as far as they are concerned…then all of a sudden you are working in the area becoming one of the locals for a short time. What town will be next?
Back at the camper, we watched the Independence Day celebrations from Washington, DC…wishing we would have waited just one more day in Great Bend to see their fireworks show.
Not to worry, it sounds like we might get a local flavoured show here…
