It rained hard most of the night in Waterford, so Ranger's and my walk in the morning was a soggy one. Nothing like traveling with the smell of wet dog in the RV! We had breakfast with Dugan and Lu and then headed south, out of Wisconsin and into Illinois near Rockford. We got a break from the rain briefly while stopping for lunch along I-39, so Ranger was able to get a break.
It was not an exciting drive. It was Illinois. Flat, lots of corn. What can I say?
I had planned a short day of driving, not sure how early we would get out of Waterford, so we stopped for the night near Normal, Illinois, at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area. The campground was almost full on a Saturday, lots of family, lots of boats and fishing gear.
Given that it was only 3:00, we headed out to explore. When we got near the boat launch, about 20 minutes' walk from our campsite, the sky opened up and it POURED. Back at the campsite, Ranger got a good rub-down with a towel and we changed clothes. Not a nice night for sitting out or grilling dinner....we settled in for a quiet evening of reading.
