Since last I wrote we have covered quite a few miles, both on the bikes and with the camper.  From the wind swept plains of Kansas to the corn rows of Iowa we have experienced only cold, wet windy weather.  Fortunately we have stayed  just out of the reach of the tornadoes that have traveled along side us for the last few hundred miles.

We left Earl Norman at his home in Bellevue, Nebraska a few days ago  and pointed the nose of the camper north.  Today is the first day in almost two weeks that we have seen the sun shine and it is a wonderful sight!  We were even  able to get out and ride this afternoon! 

We have found several small city parks along our route that  usually have a few spots for RV's.  Most  have water and electric and are quiet and peaceful.  I would guess that come summer these little parks are always full but at this time of the year, we seem to be the only ones using them. 

We have our fingers crossed for more sun & more warm weather as we continue our trek north to the U P.
