Two More Days to home






By now, we're ready to get back to the comfort of our "stick house" as they are known in the RV'ing world. We are in Paducah KY tonight at a nice family owned campground. We drove through rain and modest but never fun wind at times. I drove through St. Louis and saw the Arch up close and personal. We saw bison in fields in Illinois - not the West , surprisingly. The last photo is from Wolf Creek Pass. The others are from a stopover in Burlington CO yesterday to see the Kit Carson County Carousel - a fabulous original hand carved carousel that goes 10 mph - swoosh, fast - it is the pride of the county. I know I would never see this again so we hung around for an hour at a playground that dtr loved then went in the carousel at 11 AM. What a work of art. 95% original paint and parts. Such a treasure in a train/grain town. I took over 100 pictures of the 47 creatures and the beautiful carousel Wurlitzer organ. Video'd it too. Dtr just loved the stop. By the way, lady told us "carousels go counter clockwise, merry go rounds go clockwise". OK, prob not important but is interesting. Good night.
