Camp#61..Fort Kaskaskia State Historical Site.

  After a 2 1/2 hour drive and some internet research enrt we were recamped at Fort Kaskaskia State Historical CG near Ellis Grove, Ill. by 3PM.  Damn, Illinois is soooo long !! At least we're in the far South of it. Nice little park and well cared for, so we decided to stay for 2 days. Only basics here (elect) so we'll be headed to a FHU park next move. Gotta get some laundry done soon.
 The River views today were great.

 

 
   Took a few walks and collected firewood and got a feel about the layout of the park. We're on top of a large hill and there are some scenic overlooks. ( after all the mountains we were in this summer I'll always refer to high spots this far East as "hills" !!)
   Got a weekend starting so it's probably wise to standfast Fri & Sat. This park is already filling up fast at 6PM.
   Our phones and internet have good signals and we have sky access for the dish too. Supposed to be in the 90's for a few days and we found a site with good tree shade for the rig. Since our AC is busted it's gonna get clammy, at least the night temps are near the 60's so sleeping is comfortable.  The camp host has been here for years and made us feel very welcome.
   We might head to Metropolis from here..you know what's there, don't ya?? Standby for that story!!! (Look, up in the sky....) 

REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !!
