Moved Today

We moved a bit further east today and are now just north of Dorrance, Kansas. We are in an Army Corp of Engineers campground on Wilson Reservoir. This is a modern campground with about 150 sites and most have electric hook-ups for $8 a night! The campground has a lot of sites right on the lake and the views are really nice. We are perched high above the lake on a bluff. This lake is well known for fishing and there were a half dozen boats on the water today.

I am surprised at the wildlife here in Kansas. The campground we were at last night was over run with deer and pheasants and the park we moved to today has the same. We saw turkeys on our way to the freeway this morning. On a walk after dinner this evening we saw three pheasants and heard others crowing. We also saw five deer in the fields across from the park.

We plan on staying here for two nights to be sure the severe weather that is ripping Arkansas has a chance to move east.

We are camped above the lake. Look close at the top of the hill.

This is a view of the Wilson Reservoir. The Army Corp of Engineers built the dam in 1964 to control flood waters.
