Good morning!

Hi all
So glad we came south to store the trailer.
Below freezing every night and Halloween was the 2nd coldest recorded in KC.
We are only about 40 miles from KC.
Today we have to organize and get ready to leave the BWB here near Ottawa, KS
Thanks so much to Millie's cousins Dawn and Gary for allowing us space to park.
Happy to not think about towing the BWB out of ND in February.

Yesterday we had a great day, maybe because it was so chilly being only in the low 40's.
Best part was the wind stopped. Made it kind of fall like to be outside not having to hold your hat.

Started out going to the Old Depot Museum in Ottawa, KS.
http://www.olddepotmuseum.org/historical-sites/old-depot-museum/
Great choice, and we had a wonderful and informative couple of hours going through the displays.
We had the place to ourselves and did not have to move along any faster than we wanted.
One of the displays was about an early local photographer "Dad" Martin.
Long before Photoshop, "Dad" produce many fun prints exaggerating the productivity of the area.

After enjoying the museum and starting to get hungry, we did the only thing that made sense.
But on the way we cruised Main St. stopped by the Franklin County Court House for a quick photo.

Then we made our way to.....................

Great Vodka, made from Kansas sweet corn. (I guess it is their form of "corn liquor" commonly known elsewhere as "White Lightning".
However, Iv'e tasted a couple of those and this is nothing like them.
Smooth and a slightly sweet flavor, so good I bought one.
Millie liked the Pumpkin Spice flavored and we bought one of those for Holiday sipping.
Buck-U Products

Proprietor of the distillery directed us to the "best place in town for lunch".
Smoked Creations BBQ
Somewhat like a sports bar, BBQ joint. The food was great and had a good selection of beer.
We had an appetizer between us and took enough home for supper.
Loaded Potato Chips

Good service and prices were reasonable or better.

So all "loaded up", we headed next to "Pome on the Range" just outside of Williamsburg, KS
and only a hop, skip and a jump down the road from the RV Park.
Pome on the Range
The great Orchard, winery and gift shop, where you could buy fresh apples, frozen Ubake pies, Jelly, wine, salsa and lots more.
We sampled the wine and of course purchased a few bottles, bought some jelly and got Apple Cider Slushies.

After the day of sightseeing, sampling alcohol, eating and delicious desert (the slushie) we went back to the BWB for a relaxing evening. Finished the BBQ appetizer, watched a little TV and headed for a good night's sleep.

Today will bring it's own challenges (repacking) and rewards.
Make your day great
Tom and Millie
