In Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico today!

71 degrees here in Logan, New Mexico at 9:00 pm Mountain Time.
We drove just over 425 miles from Bill & Kathy Connelly's farm near Tescott, KS at 8:00 am and got here about 6 pm Central, 5 pm Mountain.  Was as high as 89º with very high winds trough Kansas, and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas.  Used a terrific amount of gas with the cross winds 15 to 20 mph all the time, but we made it.

Fog as we were going by Connelly's corral - it got very heavy and
we had only a few hundred feet visibility for first couple hours after
leaving their place -- didn't get to see much countryside.

Ate lunch in our trailer while at the Visitor
Center/Boot Hill Museum area in Dodge City

Saw hundreds of windmills in Kansas and Oklahoma
these blades are quite a bit smaller than most

Saw a lot of corn being piled on the ground at elevators
in Kansas and Oklahoma.

This statue was across street from where we
got gas.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  It was three o'clock in the morning, and the receptionist at a posh hotel was just dozing off, when a little old lady came running towards her, screaming. "Please come quickly," she yelled, "I just saw a naked man outside my window!" The receptionist immediately rushed up to the old lady's room. "Where is he?" asked the receptionist.   "He's over there," replied the little old lady, pointing to an apartment building opposite the hotel. The receptionist looked over and could see a man with no shirt on, moving around his apartment. "It's probably a man who's getting ready to go to bed," she said reassuringly. "And how do you know he's naked, you can only see him from the waist up?" "The dresser, honey!" screamed the old lady. "Try standing on the dresser!"

At the urging of his doctor, Bill moved to Texas. After settling in, he met a neighbor who was also an older man. “Say, is this really a healthy place?” “It sure is,” the man replied. “When I first arrived here I couldn't say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn't have the strength to walk across a room and I had to be lifted out of bed.” “That's wonderful!” said Bill. “How long have you been here?” “I was born here.”
