Camps 90 to 93 Illinois. 6-3 to 6-19 Northbound !!

Today is the day I start taking other blogger's advice.

I had a nice long, detailed blog just about done a few days ago and when I was finishing it up it magically disappeared ! Ya gotta love blogger! Been so upset I have just stewed on it for awhile. Billie Bob's blog  ( http://billybobsplace.blogspot.com/ ) says he's had problems like this in the past.

So now I'll write these as a text doc in Open Office and cut and paste them to the blog. I'm hoping this works!

Since the last blog we've been on the move, slowly, North. Had to pause a few times due to the weather, mainly wind. I don't like wind!

Doesn't seem possible that my last post was June 3^rd. Time flies.

Camp 90 was Isle of Capri Casino in Mississippi. They have an RV Park with FHU's just outside the Casino for $16/night. We had some good luck there too!

Camp 91 was Fort Massac State Park in Metropolis,Ill ( home of Superman Museum). We were just North of Paducha, Ky.. Heather's 2 sons & D.I.L. live in Paducha and visited both days. We had cookouts both days.

Camp 92 in South Marcum in Benton, Ill. started our adventures in COE (Corps of Engineer) Parks. We really love COE camping. These parks never disappoint us. They're clean and usually rural and with my senior discount very affordable. Rates run $8 to $12 depending on hook ups available. The 50% discount is great.

Camp 93, where we are at the moment, is Coon Creek COE in Shelbyville, Ill. Nice woodsy, well spaced and FHU, the restrooms are spotless. Most COE's are around large water projects so there's usually fishing and boating available. A lot of campsites are right on the water's edge and the views are great. Had some deer walk right thru the CG last night.

Tomorrow, weather permitting, we'll be headed to Vermillion, Ill. to visit a camping friends of ours. They visited our Houghton Lake place in their MH so we're returning a visit.

The heat so far this summer has been a lot hotter, a lot earlier, than normal. Our AC has been getting a real workout. We lucked out here as we've got some shade.

REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY
