We left the Stonewall area to begin our journey home. At Wakeeney KOA in Kansas we saw these fun signs.
The landscape changed from high desert to prairie. We began to see more green, corn fields, farm land, and old buildings here and there.
There were also many oil wells...
...and wind farms.
In Kansas City, we stopped at a rest stop right next to Arrowhead stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs play. The Kauffman stadium, where the Kansas City Royals play, is next to Arrowhead.
On Tuesday, we stopped at St. Charles, MO to visit our new friends, Mary and Tom Ballard, the couple we met at Salt Lake. They have a lovely home (hope they never see ours!). We went out for pizza and then overstayed our welcome at their house. On September 27, they will celebrate their 50th anniversary with an open house. Sure wish we could be there, Tom & Mary! 
Mary had a lovely quilt rack that Fred was interested in. We hope to see Tom and Mary this winter, perhaps in Florida. 
Two more overnights and then made it to Lake George, NY on Friday, happy to see your children, sons in law, and grandchild, but sad that our wonderful, wonderful trip had ended. The sights were beautiful, the people extraordinary and the weather the best!
But before I close I must share with you all a picture of our other new friends, Laura and Doreen, who we also met in Salt Lake and who we hope will come east next summer to continue their genealogy research and our new friendship. Doreen also sent us a picture of us at the fair.
A big hand for the mo-ho driver, over 6500 miles on Dazy-D and over 3500 miles on Rosebud! At the beginning of the trip he said there would only be one trip, now he's talking about maybe another one! Yippee!!!!
Hope you enjoyed the blog. Now to see if I can download all this for an album.
