Alaska Journey Day 116 / by Dave Hileman

Forts and Friends Day 

Another long driving day. But at 130 miles in we meet our friend, Greta, sister of our long time friend, Gregg. We enjoy a nice time to catch up a bit before we go just a few miles south to Lindsborg, a Swedish town that was really fun with an excellent bakery. Miles later we arrive at Fort Scott in Southeast KS, find the NP site and then get lost twice trying to find the camp site in one of their parks. Not our best night. 

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Kansas has a lot more people and I really like the orderly roads and abundant coffee shops. Ice cream not so much. Greta is my new Kansas and Nebraska coordinator, I will let her know soon. She will be thrilled as she adores me. I can’t imagine I will have to do too much more of this cause apparently campaigning is one of my most outstanding abilities.

In a small Kansas town there were two of these restored stations that were hotel rooms. Plus this one was across the street from the world’s largest ball of twine. Wow.

Lindsborg Ks is a stunning town with wide brick streets, neat small homes and a wonderful downtown.
