We packed up and headed out on a driving day - just half way to our next stop - Tutumcari, NM. For the day though we just drove to Meade Lake, KS. A beautiful park, we had a secluded site surrounded by trees and a great lake. We set up camp and then went for a swim in the sun-warmed sand bottom lake. It was the perfect end to a fairly uneventful day. 
Reluctantly we packed up our Meade lake site, had another quick swim and headed to New Mexico. This was our four states in four hours day, we drove through the rest of Kansas stopping shortly in Liberty Kansas to see 'Dorothy's house' from the Wizard of OZ, cute a tourist trap, but worth a few minute stop! We drove on through the pan handle of Oklahoma and the pan handle of Texas (stopping to pick up groceries and lunch since it was all we did in Texas! and on into New Mexico.
Some friends had told us we had to stop in Tutumcari NM and we ad found a state park outside the city on the map, but were never able to find it in the car! We wound up IN Tutumcari for the windyest night we've spent yet. We had a great view of the mountain, but the wind was crazy and exhausting. Neither of us got much sleep as we watched the tent whip around and waited to be blown back to Kansas (or OZ). But it never happened, it's a good tent and OK City must have been quite a storm.
Tomorrow... Aliens!
