More Junction City, Wamego

 We started the day at the New Horizons factory. Very well-made 5th wheels, usually made for folks who fulltime, so they are larger and heavier than the ones we usually see on the road.
This one was being refurbished; all the decals we stripped off in preparation of a new paint job. Painting is done at the Winnebago factory, the same place where ours was painted.


Intended to be a "floor model," this was sold (most are custom made to customers' specs), but we were able to walk through it. Very impressive!

 In Wamego we had a great tour of the Oz museum. Lots of information, a video about L. Frank Baum and one about the making of the movie.

Dorothy and Toto



The Scarecrow...and my husband reading the sign.

A wonderful three-dimensional quilt

The Tin Woodman

Something like this was used to represent the cyclone. The idea was used in other tornados after this.

I took this picture of the funnel because five years ago I made a tin woodman costume for 2-month old Kaila. Cary used a funnel for her hat also.



We had lunch at a cute little diner, The Friendly Cooker, where Cary got an order of a hot roast beef sandwich, mashed potatoes and gravy. Very happy.

Tonight we ate supper in our room at the Econolodge in Cameron, Missouri, leftovers from yesterday's supper, today's lunch, and a fish sandwich from Burger King.

We thought it would be simple to watch the Vietnam War special; naturally it took a while to get the captioning...but then the audio came on in Spanish! Yeesh. But we persisted and now everything is fine...until the next motel, TV and remote control!
