Made it to Salina

We arrived in Salina about 2 PM yesterday. A good drive, great road. I80 to York, NE then south on 81 to Salina. Four lane but not interstate.
I figured out the magic speed/mileage deal. Cruise at 60 to 65 and turn out 20MPG with that big Caddy engine.
We had the AC on, blowing ice cubes...that Vintage Air unit really works nice. Elvis had to cover her legs, she was cold.
Temp in Salina was 95 and dew point was 65. Today is to be 100. We drove to the park last night to check it out, a new park this year. Lots of grass, trees, a really beautiful park.There were Over 900 preregs this year, last year just over 600. Looks as if this year will be an even nicer show.
The power steering fittings are holding tight so far. It seems to take 300 miles or so to loosen up. I did zip tie the hoses to a bracket, I thought maybe they were flexing and loosening the fittings, so far so good.
The customs are starting to roll into the Hdqs hotel, I will send some photos tonight.
