I’ll edit the post.

On the bright side though; RV parks are actually pretty safe, we’ve never felt uncomfortable at one…RVers are friendly folk and we usually stay sort of out away from the city anyway. We have cameras on the sides and back of the rig to use while driving though.

Luckily we’re not leaving until 8 AM or so tomorrow and they will all be in working at 6 AM since they have a rush delivery for Friday on another rig (51 feet long, what a monster). I’ll just run over first thing and beat on them.

Everything else got fixed just fine; I’ll put up another post in a bit with details and some pix from our hike today at the Konza Prairie Nature Conservancy preserve. Pretty cool hike it was.

The guys at the truck shop tell me that the ride will be way better with the springs and some friends of ours who did the same mod agree. Window is fixed; just needed a new gasket seal; the original one was stretched a bit when they glued it to the window frame and it pulled loose from the frame in the corner and the seal cut across the corner instead of around it. They’re doing a water hose test to verify.

We’re headed for Colorado Springs on Saturday/Sunday and will be there for 10 or 11 days.

You’re right…Kansas is very flat. Some guy I found on the internet compared the average height variation to the distance across it and then did the same comparison for pancake. His research revealed that Kansas actually is flatter than a pancake:-) The middle to western part is really flat, much more than the eastern portion where we are now…we’ll see that on Saturday with a stop right before the CO border then on into Colorado Springs Sunday.
