Actually there are some of us farther S.W. in Kansas than you currently are!
Welcome to the constant breeze! However it's dry here and nights are always nice and cool, even in the dead heat of summer.
Have you visited;
- old Fort Larned? It's cool if your into history.
- the Mexican restaurant in Larned? not bad.
- Pawnee rock? another historical site.
- You are living right on the Santa Fe trail, have you been to that museum?
- Have you fished Larned city lake?
So much to do, so little... "hey look, a rabbit!"
Oh yea, have you thought about one getting a pop up canopy to put right behind your van? I have camped out of my pickup shell and it makes a huge difference. Portable, cheap and lots of shade. I used 5 gallon buckets for weights. One for each leg, fill with water, short bungee cord from leg to bucket handle, when ready to leave dump the water, fold up the canopy, stack buckets and go.
just a thought.......
