It rained much of the night, but we were very snug in our bed. We headed west into Kansas to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, a combined effort of the NPS and The Nature Conservancy. This makes NPS site 347 out of 401 for me. We walked only briefly because it was in the 90's and Judy is still feeling the effects of her cold. Fortunately she is much, much better. We then headed to Abilene where we stopped briefly at the Eisenhower Center. This area is still reeling from a 5" downpour that flooded fields and roads earlier this week. The crops look to be way behind those in the states east of Kansas. We spent the night in a cabin at the Salina KOA. I think the massive grain elevators here were used in the film "Picnic". We were worried about rain, which did not materialize - it went south of us.
