Spring Lake RV Resort

Their brochure says they are the largest RV park in Kansas. I think there are 179 RV sites plus half a dozen rental units. The map shows a creek running through the park along with six ponds.  I don't know if that's all so, but we're going to be here for a week, so we'll get it all checked out.  We were TIRED when we got here!  Plugged in, got jacks down and slides out, turned on the AC and just shelled!

We've been driving for six days straight.  We usually don't do that. Normally, we drive one -- or maybe two -- days and then take a day off to rest up or sight-see.  The last part of today's drive was a bit nasty.  We drove I-70 from WaKeeney to Salina, Kansas, then took I-135 south to Hesston.  We were following the GPS which had us take Ridge Road down to connect with Highway 50 where Spring Lake RV Resort is located.  That would have been fine, but about a mile from Highway 50 (we could see the traffic on it!), there was -- without any previous warning -- a sign saying that the road was closed! There were barricades, but no detour signs.  Knowing that we had seen a lot of bridge work along the way, we were hesitant to drive that last mile in fear we would get part-way, find a bridge out and be unable to turn around (this was a two-lane narrow country road...). 

We turned right onto a dirt road.  The GPS told us it would be five miles until we could again turn onto Highway 50.  It was actually four very dirty miles.  Then when we got back to the highway, the GPS unit told us to turn the wrong way into the RV park.  It's a good thing they had large signs pointing the right way!

The only other thing we made sure to do was to get out our NOAA Weather Radio; put in new batteries; and program it for Harvey County, Kansas (Region 7, 162.550).  We are in tornado country!  There are two storm shelters in the park, both quite close to where we are parked.
