Chanute, Kansas (pop. 8722)
Odd that my camping apps show this as Safari Park but I now notice the sign shows Santa Fe Park.

Oxford, Kansas (pop. 1048)
Napawalla Park was our destination when we got sidetracked staying at Walmart in Wellington.
It was only twelve miles to Oxford.
Wellington, Kansas (pop. 7715)
Known for “…hot, humid summers” and a F4 tornado that destroyed 130 homes and businesses, killing ten people on May 27, 1892. It is May 25. We better get a move on.
Wellington was twenty-some miles east from Argonia. The plan was to stop and pick up a few items at Walmart then move on further east to another city park.
Nothing across the highway. Why go on to the next town city park not knowing what it may be like?
So after shopping, fixing lunch, we decided to stay for the night and enjoy the good cell service and wifi.
Argonia, Kansas (pop.456)
Claim to fame: Susanna M. Salter became the first woman to hold a political office in the U.S. when she was elected mayor of Argonia in 1887.
This town is fifty miles east of Medicine Lodge kind of out in nowhere.

While relaxing trying to read I kept hearing an annoying sound above the refrigerator. I took it for a bird on the roof messing around. But it kept going on and off for a long time. Too long for a bird for he would have lost interest and flew off by now. Maybe it is behind the refrigerator? Oh great, I bet it is mouse trapped in there somehow. It was just dusk and I knew this would bother me wondering about it so I got up and went outside with a flashlight. I removed the access panel.
