Two More Days

 After a long time of careful planning we are setting off on our trip out West in a couple of days.  It's been three years since we have been west.  In 2019 we had a wonderful summer in the Maritimes and then Covid cancelled travel plans for 2020.  This year I did something I usually don't bother to do and made reservations for almost every day of the next three months.  Since Covid many, many people have purchased RVs and campgrounds in popular areas, including the national parks, are booked out well in advance.

This trip we wil be bringing our electric bikes and hope to ride many of the bike trails all over, starting with Jackson Hole.  I read that there are 57 miles of bicycle trails.  There are many more miles of mountain bike trails but we won't be using those.

Kansas Prairie and on to Nebraska

Today we got a late start because I left behind a bag with some essential items and had to make a quick Walmart run to replace them.  Quick meant twenty miles each way.  Once we got rolling the roads were exceptionally good and almost empty and we made pretty good times. I am always surprised at how much open, uninhabited land we have in the United States.  We traveled several hundred miles today and most of those miles were through wheat and corn fields, stretching as far as the eye could see.  Harvesting was going on in the wheat fields and the combines blew beautiful arcs of golden dust into the sky.  The corn is intensely rich and green.   We decided to make a few extra miles today and ended up in Grand Island, Nebraska, famous for the hundreds of thousands of cranes who migrate through each spring.  We stayed at the county park in a beautiful large spot with full hookups.  Fifty amps is essential right now so that we can run both air con...

Montz, Louisiana to Texarkana, Arkansas

An almost perfect ride today.  We left Montz around 9am and were settled into our camping spot by 4pm.  Very light traffic through Baton Rouge and almost no traffic on 1-49.  The new section of I-49 above Shreveport is beautifully smooth and well planned.   We had to run the generator for air conditioning for most of the trip because it was so very hot. I wore the thick sunglasses the doctor gave me after surgery to try to screen some of the bright sunlight. We stayed at the Texarkana RV park.  The sites are so close our neighbor had to pull in his awning and move his truck for us to get out. I cooked one of the meals HomeChef sent by accident.  They mixed up our box with someone else's.  When I called to complain (I was really looking forward to the scallops with mushroom risotto) they cheerfully refunded the amount I paid for the three meals delivered.  I would not have chosen the Lemon Shrimp Scampi Flatbread but it wasn't a bad meal. 368 ...
