North Country 2011--Day 34--Home

Easy driving but not so easy hot weather.

The last two days of this latest adventure was fairly uneventful. We left Winterset, Iowa, around 9:00 yesterday morning and headed south. Traveling on a Sunday makes for good driving because there is not much traffic on the road. Passed through Kansas City just after noon and again found little traffic. We headed across Kansas and pulled into the Emporia RV Park, in Emporia around 3:00 PM. This is a pretty basic RV park that is good for an overnight stay. Full hookups, including cable TV, for a reasonable price. We were glad to have 50 amp service so we could run both air conditioner units. Somewhere between Kansas City and Emporia it started to get warm. We finally had to pull off at a rest stop to start up the generator and turn on the roof A/C unit. After the 70 and 80 temps we had gotten used to these 100 plus degree temps were a little much.

Got out around 8:30 this morning and back on Interstate 35. We had the coach fairly cool from the previous night so to keep it that way we ran the generator and roof air all the way home. We arrived at our house in Warr Acres around 1:30 this afternoon. It was over 100 here again in the Oklahoma City area. (This year Oklahoma City has had the most days with over 100 degree temps in recorded history. Old record was set in 1950.) The TV weather guessers are predicting it to stay over 100 through this week but to drop by Saturday. Plugged in the coach as soon as we got it parked in the drive and left the A/C running. That made it easier to clean out the coach and get everything carried into the house and put away.

We had a great adventure and saw many sights and did many things. We'll settle in at home for awhile, check on family members and try to spend some time with the grand kids. We'll also start preparing for our next adventure on the road which will be in Louisiana.
