Day 18, 9/23/13, Canyon TX to El Dorado KS

Big oops today.  That 333 mile trip turned out to be almost 420.  Either Rand McNally lied or I misread woefully - or maybe a bit of both.  I  feel assured, however, that my 244 mile estimate for tomorrow is reasonably accurate.  We'll be home in early afternoon, then the work begins - getting all those credit card charges input, the bills paid, the mail looked at & sorted, the suitcases unpacked & stuff washed, the residue of muddy roads removed from the car...

Made no scenic stops today, but the sunrise as Bill loaded the car was worth a shot, so he took it.  After that it was prairie (or originally so), some flat, some hilly, and all very windy.  We ate lunch in Seiling OK, and supper here in El Dorado, where we're staying at our 9th & last Holiday Inn Express of the trip.  Wrap-up tomorrow.
