Fri, 8/20/10

Wagon Trail RV Resort, Ellison Bay, WI, to KOA, LaSalle-Peru, IL: Left Door County this morning at 8:40 a.m.—earlier than we thought. Lynn and Dee came over to say good bye and gave us a bottle of wine. Told us they’d e-mail us when they got back home to Texas. Hope they do. The leaves are already starting to turn up here. It’s beautiful here in the Fall. I drove until about 20 miles north of Milwaukee and finally stopped around 12:30 to refuel. We thought we’d hit plenty of restaurants and truck stops on Interstate 43, but we encountered no rest areas, no restaurants, and no truck stops. So we fueled up at a Citgo station, picked up a couple of sandwiches from their cooler (yum), and ate in the truck. Mike took over driving. We pulled into the KOA at LaSalle-Peru at 3:45 amid lots of lightning and were set up by 4:00. Thankfully, the storm didn’t really start in earnest, so Mike was able to get everything set up outside without getting wet. Just sandwiches for dinner. We’re running out of food. Relaxed and watched another episode of War and Remembrance. Think it was 93 or so when we pulled in here. Needless to say, we have the AC on.
