Coloumbus Kansas is a special place for Susy &  I

This is where we picked up our Home in December of '06

We bought from H&K Camper Sales and they treated us VERY well

We arrived just before sundown and they had our unit

already setup in the Veterans Memorial Park

There was a light snow on the ground and the RV lights were on

giving it a special glow

and the RV was nice and toasty inside

They even taught us how to pull a 5th wheel

We had the park all to ourselves except for 1 duck that was swimming in the lake behind the RV

Gee, the park doesn't seem as big now days

Now that we are on the road full time we know that this park is

Not the biggest nor the nicest but it has our hearts

 There are only 6 RV spaces in the park

and we were pleasantly surprised when 

it filled up with our friends
Greg & Judy, Jeff & Susan,Stan & Connie

Ron & Roberta and Mel & Dee

 It turned cold and threatened rain, so it was iffy whether

the 'Baloon Glow' would actually happen. but it did!!

Jeff & Susan offered to drive their Big Truck so we could all fit inside and

stay nice and warm while waiting

I've never been up close and personal with a hot air baloon before

so it was pretty neat to watch them fire up those burners

Man I'd hate to have their propane bill :)

 The next day the baloons were up up and away

They actually flew right over the RV park

Next up: Chicken Creek here we come

This will be our final rally for the year

and some of Wes' Great smoked Beef & Buffalo

Yum!!!

Cya soon
