5/15/14 - I got this morning at 6:20am to put together all of my stuff from Annie and Boj's house and put in the RV before my friends Bob and Steve came over to help me pull out from the side of their house and help hook up the car.  To make sure that everything was in place, Bob followed me to the gas station but was having some difficulty using my gift card, so went out and told him good bye since he needed to go to bed.  (he works nights).  Later got the card taken care of, put in gas and left Denver about 9:05am.  Before, long I was in slow traffic because of a stalled car and then later slow traffic because of a stalled ambulance but soon we got moving.  Out on the plains of Colorado, I had a lot of wind again and my first rest stop, I waited a little bit but did not seem to slow down so decided that I would just drive slower and continue.  It was windy most of the way.

I almost stopped off in Colby, Kansas but it was only 3:00pm so felt that was a little too early but then Hays was a 104 miles more.  I decided to keep going and got to Hays and the WalMart parking lot at 5:55pm.  Heated up some dinner, made tea, decided to run the generator for a while since it was a little stubborn to keep going, write the blog and then read until it is dark and go to bed early.

My goal is to have short visit tomorrow with a friend who lives in Abilene and then stay in Topeka for the night.
