Report on Levi. He caught some nasty germ from the water at the campground in Mountaindale, it did a number his bowels. The fresh blood was coming from a really raw spot near his tail caused by irritation from the bug he got and his strainning. Anyway he should be better in a few days with the medication he got.
We had a safe trip back and everything went well. We stayed at the most beautiful state park in Kansas I have ever seen, Cheney State Park. Just before that we passed through the small town of Greensburg, Kansas. It was the worse dustruction of a town Sue and I have ever seen. It was completely destroyed by a tornado, nothing was left standing and all the trees were stripped bare of leaves. Cars and buildings thrown around like match sticks. It reminded me of a movie scene of the aftermath of war where hundreds of rounds of cannon fire had leveled all the buildings.
That night while staying at the state park just down the road we experienced a severe thunderstorm during the early morning hours. I lay there in the bed waiting for a tornado to come and pick us up and carry us away. The campground host and his wife were alseep in their camper when a tornado picked up their 5th wheel and dumped in in the woods about 100 yards away about a month ago. He and his wife both survived with minor injuries. Okay enough for now I will post some pictures sometime tomorrow from the rally.
Carl I am glad you are home and doing better and I pray for a full recovery.
