Seeing Our Country

Concordia, KS
5/23/05. Arrived at the Airport Municipal Park in Concordia, KS. After spending the day driving across the wind swept (and hot) Kansas plains, Concordia was a welcome balm to the weary traveler. We stayed at the City Park which offered concrete pads, water and electric hookups, and a dump station for the price of a donation if you choose to make one. (We made one). This is a very nice little park next door to the local National Guard Station. The park was very clean and well kept. For the price I rank it as one of the best parks we have stayed at and to think it is maintained by the city. Only in a small town could you get this kind of consideration. The reason for the visit was to see my Brother-in-law's (Rod) folks. Leonard and Wanita (sorry if I spelled that wrong) greeted us with all affection taking us into their home for some freshening up. The highlight for me was to get a look at a photo album collected by Leonard's uncle during WW II from the pacific theater. Rare photos that are now on display at the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene. Later, they treated us to steak dinners at the local Moose Lodge. A really great meal. Sorry I did not take any pictures, but I was pretty beat and not thinking straight. We left the next morning headed for Omaha, Ne.
