Great San Francisco Trip 2013-Day 16-Cottonwood Ranch

Day 16  Monday August 5

A quiet day.  We visited the Cottonwood Ranch State Historical site, where immigrants from Yorkshire had built a farmstead that looks very much as though it came straight from Yorkshire.  We did not realize that Kansas has Monument Rocks, but they do, and they are quite impressive.  We spent the night in an Elm Grove at Lake Scott State Park.  We were the only persons in that part of the park.  We drove into Scott City for groceries and watched a very threatening line of clouds approach us, but we were the only people in town who were worried by them!  We have seen the damage done by flood waters, but have missed the downpours on our whole trip across Kansas.  After looking at the pueblo ruins in the park, we had a great night's sleep without any rain troubles.  Judy uses her Weather Channel app on her IPhone constantly, and it is most helpful.
