We were up and on the road shortly after 7 this morning. The goal was to make it to northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin for the last night aboard the RV. Paul took it around St. Louis in moderate traffic into Illinois. We switched a couple times throughout the day and had lunch at a truck stop somewhere in the middle of Illinois. At this point the driving was going quite well, and the topic of making it all the way home came up. It was looking like we might make Wisconsin by the middle to late afternoon. The question would be at that time whether we will have enough time and energy to make it home before dark. Paul’s segment in northern Illinois was a windy section with gusty crosswinds. If that kept up, quitting early and resting seemed like a good idea. As we entered Wisconsin though, the cross winds subsided and we were again making good time. At this point it looked good for completing the trip today. We stopped at a truck stop in Fond u lac and ate our supper, then jumped back on to Hwy 41 to arrive at Paul and Shirley’s a little after 7. Shirley had indicated that was a new record number of miles in the RV for one day. Somewhere over 520 I think.
Well, now I've got to get back to real life and get the lawn mower ready for the summer.
