Dorothy! We're Not In Kansas Anymore!

We are now in Colorado!  On Wednesday and Thursday we slept our way across almost 500 miles of Kansas, except for our stop in Abilene where we enjoyed our first walk ever on a Presidential lawn.  Who knew the Presidential Library of Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the middle of Kansas?  While they left us napping in the RV (with the generator/AC running), our drivers enjoyed touring his boyhood home, museum, and the final resting place/chapel of he and Maime.  We are looking forward to walking more Presidential lawns in California and Texas...
And, Griswolditis struck again this morning: our drivers, you know, the ones who are supposed to be taking such good care of us?  When they attempted to feed us this morning, and found our food container empty, they realized they had left all of our Very Special Prescription Only Dog Food back in VA.  SO, after several phone calls to various vets, both in CO and VA, Sarah made the walking trek, (10 miles up hill both ways) to a vet's office, backpack in tow, and hauled back 18# of Very Special Prescription Only Dog Food.  We love our Mom!  (she wouldn't let Steve do it because today is his birthday)  We think we are safe for a month or so...
