Day 15

October 11, 2013
Starting out from Topeka on Friday morning we once again had truck problems.  It would start and then die.  We headed to the closest gas station and filled up with hopefully good gas.  Glen added some fuel additive thinking that would help.   Worried that the truck would die on the Interstate we decided to take back roads to Independence.  It took all day! Well it felt like all day by the time we got there in the early afternoon.  Nearing the Kansas City area we had to drive on the Interstate.  We always try to avoid  cities when pulling the trailer as it is stressful but sometimes there is no option.  After settling in at the RV park we decided to wait until Saturday to visit the National Trails Museum and the Arabia Steamboat Museum.

I have actually caught up with this blog.  Today is Saturday, October 12th.  Check in tomorrow for the last installment of West to East on the Oregon-California Trail.
