Milford State Park

Leonardville to Milford State Park Kansas 

We woke up early as usual but knew there would be rain. We had coffee and breakfast. Chris (Kay's sister) made some delicious breakfast burritos.  She left for work around 9. The rain had stopped and the radar looked clear so we headed out around 930am. We took Green-Randolph Road to county road 875 to Leonardville, then US24 to K82 / US77. We passed by the gunnery where we saw and heard a helicopter shooting guns. We also saw an unmanned drone flying around. 

We got to Milford around noon in search of coffee and pie... only found a bar. So we went on to Acorn Resort to the restaurant for cold drinks. Then we went on to the state park. We can't check into the cabin until 4 so we went to the picnic area for snacks and shade.  

Darryl arrived around 3 and discovered that our cabin was reserved for tomorrow night.  He worked it out for us to get a different (smaller) cabin. Darryl and Kay are going to sleep on air mattresses in the loft, I'll have an air mattress and Brenda gets the bed.  All good. I'd camp (because Darryl has all my camping stuff) but it is very humid and no wind at all. Darryl also saved us because he brought sheets, pillows, and towels since we noticed last night that these cabins require you to bring your own.

Darryl drove us to dinner at The Cove at Acorn Resort. Darryl and Kay are heading home tomorrow while Brenda and I continue to Wichita. I'm making another route change... hopefully this one will work out.
