After leaving Indianapolis we headed southwest towards Illinois and planned an early stop so we could head on into Arkansas the next day to visit my youngest brother.
Here we are stopped in a rest area among the big boys--having a late lunch
and taking advantage of a nice walk around the rest area.
We started looking for an RV park late in the afternoon and found one just south of Mt Vernon.
This time we took full advantage of the swimming pool--well, I did anyway. It was a great park with lots of shade trees and areas to walk in. There was a small Jayco owners group GTG going on at the back so we got to see lots of different Jayco trailers and 5th wheels. Apparently they met at an area park once a month so they all knew each other pretty well.
Willy, Gretchen, and Harley had a big surprise as we walked around one side of the park over near the manager double-wide home. There were chickens walking around that had apparently gotten loose from a nearby pen. The fur-kids had never seen a chicken before and I don't think the chickens had ever seen dachshunds either so it was a stand-off on both sides. These were all red hens and if there was a rooster, he was considerate enough not to wake me up the next morning.
This park had great Wifi which I used to full advantage. Even though I was out traveling, I was still responsible for putting together a monthly newsletter for the chapter of a professional organization I have belonged to for years. Ever had a thumb drive go belly up on you? Happened to me here so I had to recreate the whole newsletter format from scratch. I also worked on my distribution list so this all kept me busy pretty late. The next morning, I got the newsletter sent out to everyone before I hit the road bound for Mammoth Spring, Arkansas.
