Traveled today from WaKeeney to Topeka, Kansas. Entire route on I-70, easy rainy drive through farm fields and large wide open cattle ranches. Kept passing huge fields of a crop we didn’t recognize and on a little research by my copilot turned out to be Sorghum. Kansas is the largest producer of Sorghum in the world.
Camped at the Deer Creel Valley RV Park. A first class resort with all concrete paved roads,long & wide concrete sites and concrete patios.
Wanted BBQ for dinner and saw the number 1 rated place in Topeka was Lonnie Q’s BBQ. Turns out it was right next door to our RV Park. Only open for dinner 1 night per week (Friday – very fortuitous for us), closed on the weekend and serving lunch Monday thru Friday. How did it get to be number 1 with such short hours? Went a little after 5 and found it didn’t open until 5:30. We were 6th / 7th in line and by the time it opened the line was long. Great ribs, brisket and cheesy potatoes!!
