Nebraska and Kansas were the last two “new” states to add to our map, for this trip, and sadly, our week in these states, will probably be my least favorite week of this adventure. Not because the parks we’ve stayed haven’t been beautiful (they have been) but because of the weather pattern we’ve been stuck in for most of our stay. We had one beautiful day, at Lake McChonaughy Recreation Area, in Nebraska, which is the largest lake in the state, but rain moved in and didn’t let up the entire weekend. Not only was the rain a challenge but we also had high temps in the 40’s and lows near freezing every night. We were hopeful that things would be better at Scott Lake State Park, in Kansas, but we found ourselves dealing with the worst flooding this area has dealt with in more than a decade. It was strange leaving western states, dealing with drought and fire bans, and then being forced to check local weather for road closures due to flooding. All part of life on the road, I guess!
