Day 226 – We got up to another warm day. Went to the Bakery and got two loaves of the freshly-baked Crunch Bread. They had just pulled out from the oven a piping-hot batch of melt-in-your-mouth Pecan Rolls. We HAD to get one of those. O M G !!! So yummy. Then we went to the General Store and got several more knives. (Last time we were here we bought a fantastic knife for chopping; it had been such a great knife that we knew we had to get others if we ever came back. AND they’re quite reasonably priced!) We also had time before campground check-out to drive to Iowa City to a health store to pick up some protein powder for Rob’s breakfast shakes. Back to the RV, we packed up and much to the cat’s surprise because they thought we were settling in at Amana, we departed for Oskaloosa.

HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY, CAROL & TED!!! ENJOY THE CELEBRATION!!!

Day 225 – Beginning of Week 33.  Mostly sunny and nicely warm this morning; wish we could stay here longer, but we have to be at Oskaloosa, Iowa Tuesday afternoon. The campground host was still not at his trailer, so while Rob was dumping tanks, getting more fresh water & throwing out the trash, I went over to the Park’s Office and paid for last night. They didn’t know he was gone, so we’re wondering who’s minding the shop now, LOL.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

Day 8 – Beginning of Week 2 and last week we put 1,174 miles on the RV & travelled from the Hudson Valley in NY through PA, OH, IN, IL, & some of IA; visiting 6 states & staying at 5 different campgrounds. We saw lots of farmlands, went to a winery, visited an RV museum & a Raptor Center, and spent a couple of days with friends. Rolling hills, trees, lakes, flatlands, farms, & corn. We’re looking forward to the changes that this coming week will bring.

Day 6 – A few more campers have come into our loop but it’s not at all full (the weekend hasn’t quite begun yet). When we were driving out, at the dump site near the entrance, that loop (by the Lake) was completely full. We got up at 6:15 a.m. because we wanted to get an earlier start. We’d been warned that there was a big football game in Iowa at 2:30 which could effect traffic on I-80W. Before leaving Illinois, we added the State to our travel map. We left Illini State Park at 8:30 a.m., 69 degrees, clear & sunny.
