This is our 6th year starting our RV travels from Kansas City, but it is the first time we have been met by a winter wonderland. I was blissfully tapping away at my laptop during the last minutes before you get the call to turn off all electronics ready for landing on our flight from Phoenix to Kansas City, oblivious to what was outside the aircraft window. Murray happened took a break from chatting to the guy on his left, and looked out the window to our right and saw a white landscape. It was such a change from earlier visits. Once I recall we did have some snow flurries on a previous visit, but the snow melted before it hit the ground.

In the photo on the left Murray had driven the RV out to the front of the cave (the cave entry is under the yellow sign). He got up on the roof of the RV to sweep off limestone dust before driving to Ford for the usual RV service before we hit the road. The little red car behind the RV is our rental car for the next few days. It looks so tiny!
This is the view from our motel room out to our rental car after dinner at Red Lobster tonight. A bit messy getting our suitcases out of the boot and into the motel room through the snow. But we are enjoying the unusual white stuff! Thankfully the sun was out, there was no wind, and it was a delightful 5 degrees C (41 F). We were heartened to see that petrol is $3.30 a gallon or 87 cents a litre.
