The Bleazards are at Lone Duck

We rolled in here around 1:30 this afternoon. I thought the transmission might not survive the trip up the canyon, but it got us here fine. I'm glad that trip wasn't any longer than it was.

We've been taking extensive notes on our trip that we can post later. Yesterday was a pretty long day. 13 hours of driving. We got to our regularly scheduled stop in Wakeeney Kansas and went to check in. I had been watching a really ugly black thunderstorm north of the highway. I had figured it was okay as long as it stayed north of us. Usually storms track east, right? According to information I was given at the KOA, this particular storm was coming straight south, making a beeline for the campground. They said that the highway patrol had advised them it was creating golfball sized hail and 70 MPH winds. We decided to keep going. Did another 110 miles to the KOA in Goodland.

But at least that took some time off our trip today, which wasn't so bad.

Another update: Mike rolled in about 45 minutes ago (or thereabouts). We've identified Walt's spot, but no sign of Walt or Ingrid or their truck. DML HQ is currently full of muggles, but tomorrow we get to kick them all out and assimilate the entire area. Korey, your spot is right next to us, we're both on the creek which should make some nice burbling sounds to fall asleep to. Just remember when you wake up that it isn't raining, it's just the creek.

That's it for now. GPS tracks and pictures and more details to follow once we get settled. Unfortunately we haven't been able to get any WiFi signal down at our site, so I had to walk up to the office to log in. Hopefully someone will figure out a solution.
