Photos







Some pics from our trip since we left.

Abilene, Kansas

Arrived here today after traveling all day Sunday. We stopped in Liberal, Kansas, Sunday evening after leaving Sky City, NM in the morning. The winds were at our backs most of the day so we had great gas mileage. At least 10 MPG!! We were getting a little over 7 MPG until then.

We will do some sightseeing tomorrow. The Eisenhower Presidential Library is here among other historical homes and sights.
