High Plains Campground

I posted this as a comment to the video attached to the post regarding High Plains Campground. Hopefully the "Sand Burr" issue has been resolved, but those thorny seed pods will last for decades and maybe even longer. I know the rule here is no replies,  but I wish I had been warned before walking across the grass.

Another reason for not driving on the grass is the "Sand Burrs" as I call them. If you google what's in the quotes it will bring up the plant and all it's different names. Jack Mayer may remember a fellow HDT'r from Colorado. I happened to see their rig after the HDT Rally in Hutchinson Kansas (Coming up in October again). I too was heading back to Colorado and had stopped at what was then known as the Colonial Restaurant which had a very good "Buffet" meal every day. Sad to think the restaurant is no longer the same. Anyway "Devil Dog" and his wife and K9 were in the park clearing as many of the burrs off of their shoes, dog and all other parts when I walked up. They remarked "Guess they got you too" and pointed to the laces on my sneakers. The rest of the story is long and will only be added if someone requests. Great location, used to be a great meal stop. I would walk the site before ever pulling into the park though. Rod
