Whew! 385 miles today! Our second day on the road and I need to ease into this travelling routine. I'm pooped from driving. We looped around south of Chicago and even though it was Sunday traffic, it's not for the faint hearted.
We actually got started last Saturday after some needed improvements to the coach, a new transmission for the tow car and a desire to get out of town before the snow flies. A couple of flakes floating around is about all it takes and we're in high gear getting ready to head south. As it turns out we worked up a sweat for nothing as above normal temps and clear skies were forecasted for the next week or so. Anyway, we were off on the first leg of our journey ... a short over-nighter to Battle Creek to visit family. We even stayed at our favorite, invitation only, private RV park . You won't find it in Woodalls or Rand McNally, but John's Luxury Parking lot worked out just fine. Thanks again John boy.
Our friends Bill and June got a days head start on us so we decided to meet in Effingham Illinois at Camp Lakewood www.camplakewoodcampground.com and continue the trip from there. It's our second or third stop at this park and it just a nice place to stop. The owners, Brian and Vanessa Caton and easy going and make you feel right at home. Right off Interstate 57, it's tucked back in the woods aside a small lake. Actually it might be a place you may want to spend a couple of days here.
Tomorrow we're headed towards Memphis. Don't know where we're going ... but who cares.
Still livin' the dream,
Phil
