No photos today---it's dark and damp and cold in Illinois!  We left eastern Kentucky early yesterday, drove through Lexington, Louisville, and Indianapolis, and then came to the rain.  The original plan was to stop for the night in Kickapoo State Park, just past the Indiana/Illinois border, but when we got to that exit, it was only midafternoon and raining steadily, so we kept on going.  We pulled in at Moraine View State Park, just east of Normal/Bloomington, where we spent a cold rainy night.  (Definitely one of those times when we are glad that we are not tent camping!)

The rain let up enough in late afternoon to get Ranger out for a walk around the campground.  It's a very nice park with huge old trees, lush grass, and lots of fox squirrels.  Ranger woke up early this morning (5:45); I think the time change has him confused.  So we went for another walk along the lake and around the campsites.  He seems happy to be outdoors, even with the cold and damp.

It looks like the weather is clearing in Madison, which is where we will be this afternoon.
