May 21, 2013

View of the day - South of Timken, KS, Kevin seeding milo for feed...with a dirty NW wind. 

Day two of our drive back home and Al was up and out to get the slip tank filled and breakfast from McDonalds. After we checked out, Marilyn stopped at Walmart to pick up a few things for the road, then it was lunch at the Great Wall.

We stopped to visit with Ken, who was working in the yard, then stopped out at the field to interrupt Kevin and his seeding. We got the latest on the crop conditions...might turn out good if they get a rain, if not, then not so good...you know farming. 

Once our visits were over, it was time to shut up and drive...well, we drove, anyway. We had lot of ground to cover and aside from a couple pit stops, that's exactly what we did.
We stopped to get a picture of the Lacrosse Motel sign...it gave us a chuckle.

We hit some rain as we got into northern Nebraska and it stayed with us all the way to Gettysburg...no heavy downpours this time, just an on again, off again misting. The temperature dropped and with the strong north wind, it felt quite nasty...not a day for shorts. 

Three days, covering three states each day...hopefully we get close to home tomorrow...
