It was already breezy when we got up this morning, so initially we expected to stay put in the city park until the high winds of Kansas would die down towards Monday morning.
But things took a different turn. The day wasn't going to be too windy, or so it seemed, so it was me who finally decided to get going farther east towards Kansas City.
At a quarter to nine we left Meade getting back onto Hwy 54 east.
However, it didn't take long that the wind picked up, way more than what I had expected. And after a short stop at a Walmart, we were bound to Cheney Lake State Park, which is west of Wichita. A quick phone call to the park confirmed that space would be available. Also their rates are really reasonable. The friendly young woman in the office advised us a site in one of several camp loops. The park is actually quite beautiful and is located along the huge Cheney Lake.

After setting up camp we took a nice walk down to the water. At the old boat ramp Dixie stepped out into shallow water and started drinking a lot of water. It was fun to watch her enjoy nature. And of course, she loves rolling in the soft grass everywhere.

We have been very lucky to get this site with maximum privacy. The park has several dump stations and water spigots can be found on the electric sites as well. Down by the water's edge we also saw a number of dry camping sites. We paid $80 for 3 nights which also includes the Kansas vehicle permit of $5/day.
So, we will be happy campers until Monday morning!
