06/16/2019 Day 7 Air Force Academy famcamp-CO

We’re leaving Russell, KS heading to the Air Force Academy famcamp in Colorado Springs.  
I didn’t share my pics & finds on our drive to KS, so I thought I’d do it now while I have the chance. Did you know that Dwight Eisenhower, Bob Dole & Arlen Specter are from KS? 

Back in 1956, the Interstate Highway System was created when President Eisenhower signed the Federal Highway Act into place. The first 8 miles of
I70 began in KS

KS is one of the biggest states implementing Wind Power https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=16soVGiSGD4DyhsMlh9Q-s79GupPjj_Zz

As you can see in the pic above it’s also pretty green with lots of rich wheat fields. So, they have this sign posted at the Rest Area we stopped at

And, you can’t go to KS without some mention of Oz. Besides a museum there’s a winery.

We are so blessed to not only live in a beautiful country, but blessed to have the freedom to travel & see the beauty of it. 

Have a good one everybody, we’re sure trying to.
