trains and camprounds

I think Angie would make a great album cover.............

Friday night now..
Sitting out in the evening warmth about 100 miles east of Chicago. Carol said "GO SOUTH" for the warmth, and it was 26 C today midafternoon. Managed 755 kilometers today with an early 7:25 am departure from Niagara Falls. Steady traffic all day and lots of toll roads, which the big rigs rumble down. At one point early this morning George just had to go pee and there had been no rest areas for ages, so off the side we pull and the truck and trailer were swaying from the big rig suction as they wizzed by. I couldn't quite figure out what to do with myself. We tried the audio tape of DUNE which has 20 CD's and we figured we were set, but we could not get into the story....... so I tried closing my eyes and 3 times today I fell asleep! Did not take one picture today. We are wondering how to best get by Chicago, but being SAturday morning there would be less commuting going on. There is some Huge US football game here tomorrow and they said we were lucky to get a site, but so far it is quiet. oops there goes the second train. They have extra state Troopers circulating through the campground- KOA again- so it should stay pretty tame- nothing that ear plugs can's handle.


I m looking forward to some more exploration, but likely that won't be until Yellowstone Park in a couple of days.
