Wed, Aug 8: KOA, LaSalle-Peru, IL, to Wagon Trail
Campground, Rowley’s Bay, WI: Not
a good travel day today. We got an early
start and stopped right away to top off the tank and have breakfast. We were on the road by 9:00. Continued north on I39 and the road was still
terrible. Thought it would be better
when we got into Wisconsin, but it’s even worse. Took Rt. 43 out of Milwaukee. Thankfully, Mike was driving. Going through Milwaukee was horrible—between bad
highway, construction, and traffic. Our
fifth wheel and truck took a beating for sure.
Got off I43 and onto I42 which is a county road and in much better
condition. I took over driving after
Mike drove for 3-1/2 hours. We didn’t
get here until almost 4:00 and got into our site easily and set up with no
problems. Except the kitchen slide would
not go out. One side would go out but
not the other, so it was cock-eyed. Had
a guy here in the park look at it, but he couldn’t do anything. So tomorrow morning we’ll be on the phone
with a mobile RV outfit in Sturgeon Bay.
So, until then we can’t get to our pantry and most of our food. Fortunately, we can get into the
refrigerator. I made a bunch of goulash
before we left, so we have that anyway. The
only good news is, our little wi-fi gizmo works! Yes!

So many beautiful wild flowers in this area. |
