Drive Across America…We were fortunate to have one of our campers ride along the 1,800 miles to Colorado Springs where we store the RollingCabins.

Cabelas one of our old favorite spots to stop to stretch our legs and grab a bite to eat. It’s always fun for the kids because of the museum hidden within the store. This will probably be the last time we stop for a meal because the breakfast buffet was a big disappointment.

A stop at Steve’s farm in Indiana is always a highlight of the trip to see what new exotic animals Steve’s brother John has collected. Brother Tracy and his wife Lydia treated us to the first campfire of the season and stargazing out at the sawmill.

A quick stop at Erna and Lowell’s, our companion’s Grandparents, whom provided a nice way station amidst the 750 miles we traveled that day.

Colby, Kansas our last stop before reaching Colorado Springs to see the Museum of the Prairie. On the grounds is the largest barn in all of Kansas.

15 minutes after reaching our RollingCabins we were hit by a golf ball size hail storm which broke 3 roof hatches and 1 skylight. The ice covered hailstones dimpled the Expeditions with dents that look like we parked next to a  golf driving range.  Thank God it happened while we were there!

More later tonight. Heading into the Big Ditch now
