Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois

Day 2 was driving, in the driving rain and gale-force winds. Lousy mileage. Ended up in a Super 8 in the Wisconsin Dells. Day 3 was driving--it started out rainy but not so windy and ended up being a great day. We are camped at Camp Lakewood in Effingham, Il. Our first camping night this trip--great. Just down the road from a WalMart SuperCenter, where we bought a bunch of groceries and a TV. The staff was all dressed up in Halloween costumes. Tomorrow, we are slowing down a bit and heading East.

On the Road to Florida

Laurel, Michael, Abby, the trailer and the truck set out this morning from Winnipeg on the way to Florida! A gray, rainy, driving day, so nothing to report--which is good news in itself! We stopped in Fergus Falls, MN at a motel because the campgrounds are closed. We had a Mexican dinner that was authentic and delicious--El Taquilaria, if you're in the area. Abby settled into driving after a while--but she sure does not like the bumpy highway 59.
Bye for now
