I must apologize again for slow updates. The last couple of weeks has been very hectic and by the end of the day we are both exhausted. We have now moved on to Fort Worth and the World Gay Rodeo Finals. Over the last week I have been occupied with a rather significant problem dealing with the rodeo which has occupied several days and left me exhausted. I will try to catch up on these entries over the next week. Frank

Today we left the campground in Abilene and the rally and headed south to the rodeo next weekend. We stopped at US1 RV Park in Wichita, KS. Kind of an unusual name, so Frank asked what is with the name. It turns out the RV Camp was an open field behind a storage facility called US 1. A camper came by one day and asked if he could camp in the open field. They allowed it, and thus a beautiful campground began. Frank spent the rest of the day on the computer, while Tom went grocery shopping at Dillons, a sub of Kroger. Dinner in the trailer.

We continued south to Oklahoma City and stayed at the campground where we were at three months ago when the tornadoes came through. Had dinner at a great retsaurant called Cattlemen's near the stockyard. It is here that Pres George H.W. Bush ate once. He also loved their steaks.

Monday, October 3
Today Tom took the truck to a Ford dealer to have the oil changed. Then we visited Motleys RV where we saw good friends, then back to the trailer to rest. Tom cooked Tilapia for Frank and a hamburger patty for himself, plus veggies and dessert.

Tuesday, October 4
Today we visited ACE hardware, got diesel fuel, did laundry, and ate at Home Town Buffet, where we have eaten many times. Tomorrow further south, then on Thursday at Fort Worth, TX and the rodeo.
