We Made It!

It's been 10 days and nearly 600 miles since our last post. And, we have just one thing to say.

We made it!

We made it across Kansas to our home park near Kansas City, with an overnight stop at the coolest campground ever in Ellis, Kansas and a couple of nights visiting family in Salina. We're oh so happy to be here in our old stomping grounds to celebrate the holiday weekend.

Now that we've been here in our home park for a night and a bit we can say we've made it in another way. We survived the mid-80s in Colorado Springs, the high-90s in Ellis and temperatures well over the century mark in Salina. Our first day here in Kansas City the temperatures topped out near 100 degrees. Today, thank God, the cooler weather came. With temperatures rapidly climbing past 90 degrees this morning, the skies clouded and the rains came. By 4:00 pm, the temperature outside was down into the mid-70s. And, the moose wasn't too far behind. Our boy only has half an air conditioner, but he was quick to recover and adapt to the new and improved temperatures here in Kansas City.

It's not quite Gunnison, but it'll definitely do.

Yes, we've made it. We've made it across Kansas and into temperatures that are tolerable. We can't ask for more than that. Come Wednesday we'll take our moose in for service to repair its faulty compressor and prepare it for heating and cooling in the extremes.

Meanwhile, we'll enjoy the company of family over a holiday weekend in temperatures that we can definitely tolerate, even with half a heat pump.

We definitely made it!
