High Plains Campground

This morning was gorgeous. No wind, no storms and cool. I don't have a gym, fitness center with elliptical or the Wii hooked up so I did my cardio workout the old fashioned way, I got my tennis shoes on and walked about 2 miles to start my day! There's plenty of space to walk and a country road right by the front of this camp and it provided me with a nice soft surface and clean country air for my walk. Our stay here at the High Plains Campground by Oakley Kansas has been excellent.
We have enjoyed ourselves. A friend that we met last year at Harlan County Reservoir in Nebraska just happens to be working here three days a week, helping the owner out for their summer season.
She doesn't live too far from here, retired from WalMart last year and decided to do some travel towing a small Casita trailer. Her first trip was to the lake and we wished her well. After a few trips, she found this campground and made friends with the owner, and found herself taking a part time job to help out! What a peach of a gal! We had a nice dinner last night with her and a couple from Florida who were also here visiting with her. Although we keep up with each other through our Blogs, it was really nice to see her face and sit and visit for a bit. She has a hobby and makes decorative ribbon wind socks, and she gave me one. I love it!
Thanks Emily!!! Her shifts here ended yesterday and she left to go home today for the weekend. I am really impressed with this park. These ladies are doing a wonderful job providing campers with a very clean facility. The summer season formally kicks off this weekend, and she had some carpet in the mini golf that needed glue, so DH helped with that little project today. I kept busy trying out all the washers and dryers.
She has a puzzle up in the laundry room and I worked on it quite a little. There's a pretty big tent camping area, large fenced dog run and plenty of long level sites with 30/50 amp service. We filled our propane tank for the first time since buying the rig in 2008. We obviously don't use very much, as we heat the coach and water with diesel. Usually being hooked up to electricity, we don't need to run the refrigerator on propane, only using that when we go down the road and ofcourse if we boondock along the way.
It is nice having a restaurant/steak house right next door too. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food we had for supper last night was very good. We will stay here again and I highly recommend it for all sizes of rigs.
We will be leaving in the morning and making our big 22 mile drive to Colby Kansas to have lunch with our son who is traveling through to Nebraska for his alumni celebration,then on to Atwood to start off our holiday weekend.
