Return to Minnesota

After leaving Benson, AZ we began our journey back to Minnesota.  This year our return travels took us through Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Tularosa, Ruidoso, and Roswell, New Mexico.  Along that route Gene got more practice manuevering the motorhome up and down mountains.  We drove past White Sands National Monument on the way.
     We camped overnight near Alamogordo, then Amarillo, TX; on to Liberal, KS and the next day to Cheney State Park (just west of Wichita, KS).  We stayed there two days to visit relatives, then three more days waiting for the spring storm weather fronts to move on. There were threats of thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds, but further north was blowing snow and sleet!
      Once the storms were past we headed north to near Topeka, KS, then on to Osceola, IA and finally arrived in Shoreview. 


What a surprise...there was still snow, and more on the way!   Mother Nature had planned a real "Welcome Home" for us.
