Slipping into the Central Time Zone and overnighting at a Walmart meant we made an early start this morning heading to Paxico, KS (20 miles west of the capitol of Kansas, Topeka). The 175.2 miles (94,138.5 total) seemed to go quickly. All set-up with the coach clean and bug-free by 11:30 left us most of the day to breathe deeply and relax.
Paxico seemed to be all about antiques. Other than antique stores there was a bank and a bar. You couldn't even buy groceries or gas in this town.
The nice little campground, situated along the tracks, was in a good location to support our visiting a couple of interesting things in the next few days including the Kansas Capital and a museum.
The owners had planted a very nice bed of beautiful Lilies in many colors. This was my favorite.

Lilium orientalis, Stargazer Lily
It looks like the pink is dripping off the white lily.
If there was a downside to this park it would be the close proximity to a pretty active rail line. We could feel the ground vibrate when trains passed but the noise really was not much of an issue.
Wow! Now that is close. (A built-in alarm clock.)
The 100 degree temperatures and 60 percent relative humidity were much more of an issue for us. Only a few days ago I was wearing a coat to walk Sam in Colorado at 8,000 feet. That's OK, we need to toughen up for August in Georgia!
