Another good day of traveling. Just before Kansas City, MO we looked to our left and there was K C Royals Stadium and it was packed! There was a game going on. We got a sneak peek as we drove by. It was pretty cool.
Driving through the City, could have been tricky had it not been a Sunday. The highway system city is very curving with lots of underpasses and overpasses. There was a lot of construction in the area, as well, which didn’t help. It was smooth sailing through for us 🙂
We got a surprise on I 70 when we reached Kansas. It’s a toll road. It’s a bit pricey too. We expect it to cost us about $10 – $12.
The scenery was nice, but a bit surprising. I had expected Kansas to be flat. The portion from of I 70 that we drove from Missouri to Topeka was quite hilly. David said it was difficult to use the cruise control in the RV. It was almost roller coaster like.
We found a GREAT campground in Topeka at Lake Shawnee Park. I give the park and campground five stars. Our site is huge, shady and has a great view of the lake. All this, plus full hookup with 50 amp service for $19. The park has acres and acres of clean manicured lawns. It has almost every amenity that anyone could ask for including a golf course.
Talk about “a small world”. Our campsite neighbors are also drag racing fans. They are on their way to Denver and Seattle too!
It’s been hot and is supposed to be even hotter today. The temperature is expected to hit 100 degrees. The humidity is intense. We’re glad it’s going to be another travel day, headed toward cooler temperatures.
Check out the mailbox in the slideshow. That’s my favorite photo of the day. I also loved the sunset last night.
