A Trip Around the Neighborhood

We took a long trip, over 250 miles...to get a TV antenna tower. In the meantime, we drove into some areas we had never seen. We went from here to McCracken, Kansas (south of Hays) and back through the Wilson Lake area, Lucas and Luray. A nice, but windy day.

By this time last year, we were in full swing of spring.

Our biggest friend, Bailey the Weimaraner, came with us. He loves to ride on the backseat floor of the truck. I think I disturbed his peace and quiet…but had to get that look.
