I finally was able to get a good enough WIFI signal to download pictures to the blog. We left Door County as the color was just past peak. It was beautiful but cold. We left on Monday the 19th -- almost the last to leave the park. The owners gave us a nice send off. We headed to Illinois and didn't stop until we got down to I-80. That was too long of a drive for one day. We only like to drive 3 or 4 hours a day and up to 250 miles in one day.
Sometimes there isn't a decent campground so we have to drive farther than we would like. We need to find campgrounds that have 70 foot pull through sites so we don't have to unhook the boat or back up. Come October in Wisconsin the campgrounds are closing down so we had to get to Illinois to find one.
We also have to stick to the interstates or major state highways because we are so long we need truck stops for fuel and rest stops. It seems like everytime you count on a rest area being open along the freeway -- its closed. We made it through Illinois in 2 and half days avoiding the route that takes you through St. Louis. We went through a corner of Missouri and then down in to Arkansas. We stayed at Tom Sawyer RV Park in West Memphis, AR for a week. It is right across the river from Memphis -- 10 minutes to Beale street. I will try to download a few pictures of that adventure in the next blog.
