Friday the 13th….Hmmmm. We got up around 7:00 and made our final preparations to leave. I was able to pack up and off-load everything into the Jeep, except for the canned goods and refrigerator items. We had 288 miles to go today, so we left the campground at 9:00 under sunny skies and a temp …
Last night we had quite a storm come through the area around 8:00 PM. It was still raining hard at 10:00 with lots of thunder. Auggie was not happy about it and when we finally went to bed, he had to start out in bed with us. After the storm let up a little, he …

We woke with a clap of thunder and some rain this morning. Many campers had already left. This is a popular overnight stop because it’s an easy on-easy off from the Interstate.

We slept in because we had only 180 miles to go today. It was 71 degrees when we got up with sunny skies. Many campers left before 9:00 and the campground cleared out. We were in the upper level, but when we walked Auggie last night, we walked down in the “holler”. One 5th-wheel that …
Today was a stop-and-go day. We had 273 miles to go with an overnight stop near Paducah, KY. We have a pull-thru site so we can stay hooked up to the Jeep. Today our route takes us on 6 different highways. This is our second day traveling through the length of Ilinois. This is ONE …

We left the campground about 10:00 and drove the couple of miles to Lincoln’s tomb in the Oak Ridge Cemetery nearby. We tried to follow the …
