A Trip to the Great Plains to
Attend FMCA Convention

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Spring 2001

Trip Summary

E ven though we’ve traveled many times to the area of the country that this trek would take us, it was a unique and fun experience. This would be our first trip with our travel companions. It was fun to introduce Tina and Kevin to the Great Plains and the inherent weather.

The FMCA convention was our main reason for traveling to this part of the country. This would give us an opportunity to experience true dry RV camping. With the warm days and high humidity, I was very glad to have a generator and air conditioner.

The highlight of our trek was our visit to The National Memorial at the site of the bombing of the Alfred P Murrah building in Oklahoma City. We visited this place of death and remembrance during the time that it was very much in the news.

On this trip we were able to introduce friends from California to our families in Kansas. This is the first time we’ve had such an opportunity. I was very impressed with the way everybody seemed to come together, almost as if they had know each other for a very long time.

I enjoyed a visit to a small Kansas town where I spent some time in my childhood. Many things had changed, however there were many things that were almost the same as when I was a child.

After twenty five years of RV travel all over the western United States, I received my first traffic citation.

Even with the problems we had on this trip, it truly had been another RV Fun Trip.
NOTE: On May 4, 2007 the small town of Greensburg, Kansas was destroyed by an F-5 tornado that ripped through town. Most landmarks are unreconizable and the pictures on the site are now historical.
