Where are Cheryl and Dennis?: Toto! I think we are in Kansas!

Thursday October 5 – Toto! I think we are in Kansas!

Thursday morning we left Omaha and headed south and west toward Wichita Kansas. We woke up to a steady rain then made breakfast in the camper. We packed up in the rain and it rained on and off the entire day. We were looking to stay at McPherson Fishing Lake campground at Maxwell Wildlife Refuge near McPherson KS. It had rained most of the day and I was concerned the 20 miles of (potentially gravel) roads over to the Fishing Lake would be a mess. After doing another search on freecampsites.net we located a city park in Lyons Kansas with free camping. It was a little further but it was worth it as we would have electricity and did not have to worry about bad roads. It is a nice little park with about a dozen sites. We may stay a few days as we have been driving a lot and could use a break. The park manager stopped by to welcome us and told us about the city owned golf course. It is a nine hole course and you pay on your honor. He said it was free but we checked it out and there was posted rates and pay envelopes. If we stay a few days we may go golfing.

Temps: Again the temperatures varied from 60 degrees mid morning to 77 degrees and very humid in Lyons KS. Tonight's lows are expected to be in the upper 60's. The high tomorrow in the upper 70's low 80's with rain and thunder showers in the evening.

Where we are parked: Lyons Overnight Trailer Park – Lyons Kansas. Nice little campground with about a dozen sites on a drive around loop road. The sites are gravel but not very distinct. The sites have 30 amp electric. There is restroom with showers and a dump station.
