Kansas to Minnesota April 2014

We left New Mexico, passed through Texas, then through Oklahoma and landed in Kansas.  We went through Liberal KS but did not find the yellow brick road.  maybe next time.
we stayed at


It was a very nice park, we did not get to really enjoy it too much as we were there just for the night.
Next stop in Emporia KS at a RV park right off of I35.  It was clean but no TV! they are selling the place and canceled the cable… oh well it was just one more night without news and weather.  We did go for dinner at

The food was OK, nothing special.
Saturday April 5: we left Kansas, drove through Missouri, then landed in southern Iowa at the Lakeside Casino and RV park.  of course we got there early and by 5:00pm it was full!  $20 for full hookup and cable.
Sunday April 6: We got to Albert Lea Mn.  Almost home! we are at Big Island State Park. No water but electricity.  We will be home tomorrow so no worries with the water situation.  The lake is frozen!  We began seeing frozen water by the time we got to Northern Iowa, also a little snow.

not happy about the snow and frozen lake but happy we are so close to home. it seems like we left a long time ago!
We so enjoyed our winter escape this year. We met some wonderful people, seen some great places, ate some fantastic food and had a very good experience working at the refuge.
