Hello from Branson, MO <\/p>\n
Thursday afternoon October 4, 2012 (Second travelogue of this trip).<\/p>\n
Monday we drove a bit under 400 miles and stayed at a Wal Mart in Iola, KS Our route took us to Salina, KS and then south on I 135 to just north of Wichita where we turned east and took US 54. US 54 is a nice road and took us through some rolling hills and great farm land. In spite of the drought this year, the grass and hay was green. We could see that the crops had suffered.<\/p>\n
On the drive, we hit several small rain storms. Not a lot of rain \u2013 just enough to mess up the bus and car.<\/p>\n
Our drive from Iola took us through the towns of Nevada and El Dorado Springs, MO. Those towns are significant in that they are locations where some of Pat’s relatives (several generations removed) are buried. We will return to the area after the rally and before we head to Iowa.<\/p>\n
Tuesday, we arrived in Branson in the early afternoon. I gave the bus and car a quick wash and we got settled in. The rally started yesterday and will go for seven days.<\/p>\n
That is all of now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
