March 3     Golden, CO

We made contact with our friend, Jan.  He lives in the Denver area. We went to school with him 50 plus years ago at Enterprise Academy.  It was especially important to us to get together with him because his sweet wife of 42 years, died in December.  We had a wonderful visit over lunch.  He is doing as well as can be expected, but certainly would rather have Anna with him.  Heaven can't be soon enough.

After lunch, we started driving again.  Beautiful blue skies and good weather.  Problem is that it got dark too soon.  We did make it as far as Russell, KS for the night.  We had a hard time finding an RV park that was open for the season.  Too early, the water pipes freeze.  

From Russell, we didn't have any problem driving the rest of the way to Kansas City before dark.  We did stop in Salina to get the RV and car washed.  They were so dirty from all the ice and snow, that it was embarrassing to drive it.  

We found a different RV park than the one we usually stay in.  It's on the corner of I 70 and 7 highway. It's down a dirt road, so there went the clean car and RV.  This place is convenient to our KC destinations.  A lot of times we park behind a grocery store in Lenexa.  (with permission, of course).  That works too, but no hook ups.
