On the road again, now heading to Illinois. We’ve been traveling on two lane highways instead of the
interstates. It’s such an enjoyable way to see the country. You really get the presence of an area when you travel through it. Small town
after small town show us what they're made of when we pass on by. Farm stands pop up every few miles – but the RV
is too big to pull over for a stop. Definitely one of the negatives of a big rig. Bales of hay with gourds and scarecrows tell us fall is coming. We still get a kick out of seeing large farm equipment coming at us on the road. It seems like all
the cars, trucks & tractors we pass give Andy a wave. Each waver has his own
flair. Andy is so amused by this (road weary?) that he starts waving back – but
not your typical wave. He has made a compilation of each type of wave he has
received so his wave is him making a gun out of his hand and shoots at everyone we pass. Funny, funny Andy.
After a nice, easy day we pull into Rantoul, Illinois. We are just outside of Champagne/Urbana. This particular park is on a donated piece of land given to the city from the now closed Chanute Air Force Base. It's a beautiful piece of land - lots & lots of room for SuperDog to chase squirrels. It was a nice, easy stay.
