Another Day, Another Lake

 The drive from Oklahoma into Kansas was mostly on two lane highways and without any breakdowns or unpleasant surprises. We pulled into Hillsdale State Park in the early afternoon and took Callie on a walk around this huge park with multiple campgrounds. 


Then we headed into town for some Kansas bbq at Poppa C’s.


On the next morning, there was a beautiful quiet sunrise.

Early the next day, we dumped tanks and were headed to Iowa.
