We made it to the Lawrence KOA shortly after 4 yesterday afternoon. They gave us a very nice site, very close to the bathrooms, and shady in the later afternoon.
We are relaxing this morning,Les mer

Let’s just say that the Wheatfield Bakery in Lawrence did not disappoint. We chose the walnut raisin rye from about 10 kinds of artisan loaves … all works of art!

Mark FoardHow come you guys don’t weigh 300lbs? Has the stress of the credit cards burnt off the extra calories?
ReisendeMay be. Gordon is determined not to gain weight this trip so he brought the bathroom scales. Every day he faithfully weighs himself. I weighed myself about 3 days into the trip and it showed I was 20 pounds lighter than when I left. I’ve seen no need to go through the exercise again. I figure I’m good. 😇

Your camper looks very cozy and comfy. [Laurie Towle]
ReisendeYou guys look great after 3 hard days of drinking!! I know, you meant driving.
