Time To Get The Heck Out Of Dodge (well, Junction City, KS actually)!

  After a night in a warm building with our entire rig, truck, camper and all, we were rudely greeted by freezing cold temps and a seriously sharp wind.  At 7:00am on Saturday, December 17, 2022 the temperature is only 19 degrees F and the wind chill is an even frostier 10 degrees.  We're going to have to sit on our hands for a bit and let the temps come up enough that our water lines won't freeze within minutes of hitting the road.  We're shooting for the mid to upper 20's before raising that garage door and pointing the rig south. But we are nervously watching the forecast for the area.  If we don't get clear of Kansas now and down into the deep heart of Texas we're going to be froze in for potentially weeks.  A giant polar bomb cyclone is headed our way that will pretty much shut down two thirds of the U.S. This artic blast is due in 4 days. It took until after noon for the temps to get agreeable for travel but we were off.  Destination - Wild Horse...
