Day 5 Sunday July 1, 2007 Total Mileage 209 Miles

Day five of the trip started out with breakfast, and showers and then cleaning up the rv and packing up, and leaving the 4 Seasons RV Park after Corey did another 5 million laps on his bike. We then drove down the road to Abilene Kansas to the Eisenhower Center. His house is there with all the original furniture as it was, and his Library is there, so we toured that, walked around the grounds and relaxed. The weather was alittle warm.

Abilene, Kansas was alot like I pictured a small old town in the west or midwest to be like. Some very quaint old charming buildings and none of the sprawl going on here in the east that's just making us crazy with the traffic and noise and everyone always in a big hurry.

We noticed that Kansas was where the hustle and bustle really started to go away and trip felt more like a relaxing trip and not people everywhere. The grain elevators were very impressive, we noticed you could see them roughly 20-30 miles ahead and when you saw one, then a town was coming up. And the train tracks were never ending also, running between the grain elevators. All the towns had the railroad tracks and grain elevators, but not grocery stores and videos stores or fast food places. What a refreshing change.

Kansas is also where we noticed alot of Windmills in fields that went on for miles and miles. There were no big cities anywhere near us, the biggest attraction around after Abilene was Dodge City and that's where we were headed. We got to the Gunsmoke Campgrounds at 7:30 that night, wifi, pool, dinner.
