We extended our stay at Campus RV in Wichita which required us to move to another site. The next morning I had a wonderful surprise....this lovely chickadee entertained me outside our back window as he flitted around in the spruce tree.
Isn't he handsome?
If you're ever in the Kansas City area, be sure to stop and see Steamboat Arabia. The steamboat hit a tree snag and sunk during the 1800s in the Missouri river with a full load of cargo enroute to the new settlers in the West. The story of a family's effort to find and recover the steamboat is presented in videos and pictures. Then the goods that were recovered are displayed and most are in their original condition because they were preserved under 45 feet of river silt and water. They make up the largest recovery of pre-Civil War artifacts. The restoration of these artifacts has taken 15 years and they estimate that it will take another 15 years to restore the remaining artifacts. The steamboat was found in a Missouri cornfield about 1- 2 miles off the present course of the river.
There's that same tourist reading a sign.
