We (Forrest, Mary, and Sally the Cat) left the house about 11 am today and drove much of the length of IL down to Mulberry Grove where we are camped at the Cedarbrook Campground. It's a very nice place. I'd stop here again. We're just here for the night and tomorrow will go on to DuQuoin and the "Drive Your Toys to Illinois" rally of Fleetwood owners. We'll be there Sat. through Wed.
Two mishaps for the day, neither truly major. First, somewhere we lost the outside door to the electrical storage unit. The roads were VERY bumpy and the door was broken and duct taped, but it jarred loose and fell off. It's replaceable. I'll just have to get another door at an RV supply store and install it. Second mishap, knocking a full glass of wine over onto the carpet in the coach. Bad enough that the carpet was stained, but I didn't even get a sip of the wine!
This was a long day's drive. Tomorrow will be much shorter, about 80 miles total, but we have to be in DuQuoin between 9 and 12 for our time slot at registration.
The coach got about 8.4 mpg with the AC running all day. (We ARE headed south you know. There is a reason we've seen lots of RV'ers going north!)
Well, more tomorrow! For now, good night!
forrest,
retiring and rambling

Red or white?
RED! But this morning the carpeting was only a little darkened so we didn't do TOO badly in getting the wine soaked up.
You should know that white is the best for all occasions! Enjoy, I sure would like to be along for this trip. Love ya, Helen nessestc
But my Dr. told me to drink red wine for good heart health ... and I always do what my Dr. tells me!
