We made it to Pratt, Kansas this afternoon

Two years ago we drove past this lot full of iteresting old cars and trucks, but also lots of "Keep Out" signs. Cary and our friend Tony walked over anyway, didn't go inside the fence, but got yelled at and chased off. Today we just stayed in the truck and got one picture. Cary noticed several of the vehicles were no longer there. I think the location is near Nara Vista, NM.


After driving awhile in Texas and Oklahoma, we got to Kansas. I am not sure if this mound is corn or wheat (I think corn, since there were corn fields all around us), but it seemed to represent the state, regardless.


About 8 hours of driving, we reached Pratt, Kansas, and this cute RV park. Something is going on in town so we were lucky to get a spot. I was ready to find a Walmart parking lot, so you know how tired I must have been!


Even this cute caboose could have been rented! One of these days I would like to stay in the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari and this place.


What RV park in Kansas would be complete without the tornado shelter?


There were a few spider webs at the opening, but I am sure no one would be deterred from entering if and when the need arises!
