Another long day in the VRRV, driving. We left the quiet little dispersed camping area near Wakeeney, KS at 0830 or so, and by 5PM we were set up at the Blue Springs Lake Campground. Since we wanted to be somewhat close to planned activities, this meant a pay campground instead of dispersed camping. The Kansas City area is quite large and crowded so there's a dearth of public lands for camping.
This is a pattern I am sure will be a recurring theme as we head further into the more heavily populated half of the country.
Enroute we stopped for a break and a tour of Truckhenge, a site that Martha found on roadsideamerica.com. it sounded interesting as I've been to Carhenge in Nebraska and the Cadillac Ranch in Texas.
The reality was a bit less than expected, still, it was definitely something one has to see in person. The amount of junk stored on the property was quite overwhelming.
Here's the vehicles which inspired the Truckhenge name:
Following pics by Martha:
There was even a peacock onsite, struts about but it disappeared before either of us could get a shot.
The campground isn't too crowded and the sites are not stacked up next to each other. I will be using the privacy screens though as the sites are within easy line of sight of each other.
We'll be here through the weekend.....
