Day one
Well, the camper made it to Elkhart. It pulled so nicely, and we had no wind to fight. We left early (OMG WE WEREN'T LATE). We made it to Elkhart in good time, got lost in Elkhart and decided that the phone was lying about where the RV park was. On the other side of town from where we thought the set up place was we found it. We dropped off the camper and headed to Pizza Hut for some food. We were sure we were going to be late meeting the other people in our group at the border however we ended up waiting on them which worked in my favor for sunscreen application and food digestion. However at this time the lack of wind became blustery at an 18mph south wind. Now, usually there is a pretty welcome to Colorado sign at the border. My first BAK we start on a highway that ends in a dirt road with a sign that says leaving Kansas and nothing else. I told Rhi that it was so sad that Colorado didn't claim it. Well the route was only for 18 miles, but the wind was against us. Going across the wind I lagged behind but my group waited for me at the turn to the south. I have this to say, drafting is awesome. It helped tremendously. We got back to Elkhart and it was good. Tomorrow is a longer day with 62 miles. Will post pictures later, and pray for southwest winds. 🐢
