Mid-May

Meade State Lake Park, Kansas. This is a constructed pond, which they call a “lake” here since there is not much water here. Just hanging out, walking, geocaching and biding our time.

It takes hours for us to figure out our next stops- looking for low incident virus areas, are the state parks open yet? if not, is there a RV park? how many miles between stops? can we get groceries? Kansas parks were open, Missouri state parks would be open for when we would be there. We picked our route and our parks, went on line the minute reservations opened – along with hundreds of others and got nothing for three hours of work- the site was overloaded, the phone lines were full…The next morning we called first thing and with the help of the reservation agent, managed to plot out three stops across Missouri- not quite the plan we had penciled in, but we have places to be- the last stop in Missouri will be several days alongside of the Mississippi River.
Kentucky state parks will not be open as we travel through there- and we discovered many RV parks have not opened. We found two that would take us for two nights each in a route that works, even if not what we had hoped for. West Virginia state parks are open and we booked one for a week.
Wellington, KS, an RV park near a Walmart. Stock up, rest up, geocache, and move on. So many of these areas we are stopping in have at least a few things we might have visited, but with the virus…

Kansas was pretty uneventful, not even any photos…
