The 367 mile drive on I-70E was pretty boring. Eastern Colorado and western Kansas look alike ... flat or low rolling hills, large farms and ranches, and little population. Hills became more defined as we reached mid-state Kansas.

We ended the day at Covered Wagon Campground in Abiline. It's small, clean and well maintained. Best of all, it's located on Buckeye Street.
Abiline appears to be a very quiet town. At least it was on this Monday night. We arrived at 6:30pm and were set-up by 7:00. The town was pretty much asleep by then. We found one open (non-fast food) restaurant. Ike's Place was pleasant and served us a very good dinner. They displayed many pictures of Dwight Eisenhower.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is just a block from the campground.
Note: We've now visited all states in the continental U.S. and the District of Columbia with the Airstream. Kansas is the last. We visited it in grand style by traveling through the "long way" (420 miles, west to east) and by stopping overnight. Ta-da!
