May 31, 2019 Day 1 of Trip

We got up about 7 AM and had some breakfast. By 8 AM we were loading things into the RV. This took many trips and about 2 hours. Finally we were ready to put the satellite dish on top of the RV. Logan, with Steve's assistance accomplished this feat. Next Steve washed the windshield. Then we backed the RV out of the driveway. I went and got the mail in the pickup and Steve took a shower. When I got back, we put on the tow bar and hooked up the pickup.  OK - ready to roll.  We are pooped, it's hot and humid!  The dogs are so excited!  We are just thankful we got everything loaded and also the lights worked! Woo Hoo!
We gassed up before leaving Perry and then headed north. It cost $5.25 for the toll road. When we got to McPherson, KS - Steve looked so tired and I convinced him to stop at Love's and take a nap. We had about an hour layover. I was tired - but couldn't sleep, so I rested.  We planned to stop at Salina, KS - but it was full - so we drove to Russell, KS and stayed at Triple J RV Park - $35 cash for the night.  Full Hookups, but no cable or wifi.  That is fine.
We got parked and hooked up the electric and water. Then started cooling off.  The dogs took a walk with us also. Then we had supper at Fossil Creek pizzeria and pub - it was OK. The hamburger was pretty good - the pizza didn't look great to me. Then back to the RV to put in a call to Dish to get the satellite receiver turned on. Yea! It worked!  Thanks goodness!  Just typing this note and then resting.
I did not take any pictures today. But I love the views west of Salina, Kansas - big rolling hills with cattle enjoying their time.  It was a sunny day - even a little hot.  We are glad to see the sun -but it does make the RV a little hot.  We are moving out a little late this year. Oh Well- at least we get to go.
