Sunday we got up to a rain which lasted until early afternoon, so no early morning packing for us. After hanging out inside and going a little stir crazy we headed out for lunch at one of the local restaurants. After that we hit a couple of the local shops, some we had been in before, but one or two of the shops we had missed before. No purchases there, but then off to the butcher shop where we spent about $50.00 on meats thinking it should keep us fed for the next week or so. We then headed home, but it was raining again, so inside to put some of that stuff away and then lazed for a little bit. Just about dinner time was setting in, the outside started to dry out so packing started while dinner cooked on the grill. About 7:30 we headed down to visit with the Burkette's hoping to have a fire, but with the wind we just headed inside for a visit and to share a bottle of Tennessee wine. It was a nice visit and a great way to end the week. We headed back to our RV about 10:00, a walk for Rudy and then off to bed for us.
Monday we got up and watched the last of the rally crew pull out and then finally got on the road about 10:00. We are only headed about an hour away to get the hydraulic leak checked out, so off I go to Wal-Mart and Brad off to HWH. I arrive shortly after he was checked in, unloaded the things purchased then Brad, Rudy and I head into Tipton, Brad and I looking for lunch. We ate at the local restaurant then got Rudy out for a walk. As we were heading back to the car the cell phone rang and they were ready for our Moho (Motor Home). Back to the shop, Moho in and they were done with the check up in about 30 min., nice. Back on the road and just as we cross the mighty Mississippi, we look for an ACOE (Army Corps of Engineers) CG. Well we drove right past, by accident and pulled into a County CG, nice. We stopped at the office and was met by the camp host, $18.00 a night for water and elec., needless to say, we stayed. The host was very friendly and came over to our site to check us in, telling us if we needed anything, just to let him know. We did a walk around, down to the water, I had enough of the bugs and headed back, Brad and Rudy right along with me. Other than the bugs, which you have in every CG, neither of us had any complaints about this place....would go there again. We did another stroll or two after dinner, avoiding the waters edge, then off to bed about 10:00.
Tuesday we were moving very slow, and didn't get on the road until about 10:00, but not before I got a picture of the black squirrel. Back on I-80 then we hit 74, heading back to Crawfordsville, IN. There really aren't too many CG in this area, and after reading some of the reviews we were heading back to Sugar Creek CG. We stopped for gas and I took over driving for about the next hour or so, stopped to change drivers and there in the rest stop are two wind mill blades. Wow, are those things ever huge, I talked with one of the guys in the escort truck, the blades are about 112 feet in length and the total length of the rig hauling it was about 166 feet, they don't pull in just anywhere for a break. We finally pulled into the CG about 6:00 (with the time zone change), got set up, called Lynne, burgers for dinner, a bunch of walks with Rudy, then a little TV and off to bed. Long day on the road, but an uneventful ride.
