It finally arrived. Day 1, the start of our trip to Alaska. Yesterday we wrapped up all the packing and securing of everything we will need into the motor home and moved it from our pad into the front driveway so we didn’t have to spend 30 plus minutes this morning just getting off the pad. We pulled out of the driveway at 6:30am and drove up to the Pawnee Indian station/casino just before you get on the Cimarron Turnpike at highway 18. I topped off the diesel tank with what will probable be the cheapest diesel of the trip. I put in 37.59 gallons for $100.70. That figures out to $2.679 per gallon. The station on the turnpike was $2.829 per gallon. We left the station and stopped at the Mc Donald’s on the turnpike and had breakfast with Gary and Mattie House and then we all pulled out heading west on the turnpike.
We took I-35 to Wichita, Kansas and I-135 north to I-70 and then west on I-70. We met Don and Kathy Bryan in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Colby, Kansas. They were coming home from Colorado Springs, Colorado with their granddaughter Felicity.
We are spending the night in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Goodland, Kansas. There were hundreds of motorcycles here in Goodland tonight. They are part of a bike rally that left L.A. four days ago and will end up at Washington DC. It is being done to honor the Veterans.
Tomorrow morning we will fuel up and head for Casper, Wyoming.
