As I said to Dan late yesterday afternoon, "I hate Indiana!"
That's probably not fair. It's the stretch of Indiana along I-65 between Louisville and Indianapolis that I hate. (Then again, I'm not fond of the end by Gary, but we didn't have to travel through there yesterday.) It's a boring ride, and we were jarred by a road badly in need of repair, with mugs clanking in the cabinet and the screen door vibrating. And then there was the road construction (much needed, I admit)----it went on and on. We sat in back-ups repeatedly, and in the end it was over nine hours in the RV to get out of Indiana and into Illinois.
We spent the night in a small Illinois state park which we visited two years ago: Moraine View State Recreation Area. When we were here before, the weather was rainy and cold---I remember pulling out our winter squall jackets to walk Ranger! On this trip, it was windy and hot. While it did cool off a bit in the evening, we ran the AC (again) in order to get a good night's sleep. (AH, camping!)
The campground was about 5% full on this Tuesday night, so there was plenty of privacy. Somehow we managed to select a spot about 3 sites away from someone with a large black dog that keeps barking at Ranger, but I think he considers it good entertainment.
We both had much needed showers in preparation for tomorrow's travel to Wisconsin where we will see the whole pack of Dorgan sibs (all except Sean).
