After a couple of hours, we crossed the border into Kansas. The praise is flat with houses few and far between. Occasionally we'll pass a town just off the highway, but for the most part, we seem to be driving through cornfields. We drove through Colby, Kansas, referenced in John Denver's song"Matthew."
One of the small towns along the way advertised "Free Land" on a billboard on the highway. The sign offered that "water and electric are provided... All we need is you." Don't know how much free land they're offering. There are no trees, just lots and lots of prairie. This part of Kansas reputedly has a lot of wind. We saw warnings for high winds yesterday. Today the wind might be blowing 30+ mph, right on our beam. If we were a boat and this were water, we wouldn't be burning fuel today.
We made camp at Cedar Bluff State Park & Reservoir, about 13 miles off the interstate. The wind diminished as nighttime approached. This state park offers sites with hookups. We chose to plug in to electric but the water is turned off for the season. This site doesn't offer a sewer connection, although there are sites that have all three hook-ups. The sites are huge and there are lots of them; over 1100 according to one piece of literature we read.
