September 18, 2015 Abilene KS / Laundry day!

No storm last night, but it did cloud up and the wind continued to blow.   Today was cloudy all day and windy and it has cooled off significantly but no rain for us.   

We headed to Junction City and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then hit the laundromat.    Laundry just had to be done but it doesn't take very long to do.   The CRV needed a bath really, really badly.  So we ran her through the car wash.    It catches a lot of spray from the MoHo.   Then we hit WalMart, isn't this just all so exciting? HaHa

After putting groceries and clothes away, we hit the interstate and found the Russell Stover Candy Factory.  Guess what?   They have an outlet store.   WooHoo - just what we don't need but what the heck.  

Tomorrow is the Eisenhower Museum and his childhood home in Abilene.  There are a few antique stores I might need to visit as well.

Zion Tragedy - we just heard about the loss of 7 lives at Zion National Park shortly after we had visited.  Apparently a flash flood swept through Keyhole Canyon and 7 lives were lost.    Zion is a beautiful place but park personnel are continually warning you about the dangers there and that everyone is responsible for their own safety.   I was so sad to hear about lives being lost in such a beautiful place.
