It's been a while so i'll hit the highlights..
After a short stay at Vicky's home in Leesburg in which we mostly visited with the family we headed out toward Dayton, to pick up the I-70 thru IN. We only stayed one night, at a free campground (horse trailer camp) with no electric or water. Heading west down the I-74 we were in need of water for our fresh H2O tank but couldn' find any connection compatable to ours & didn't want to pay for one..luckily we went across the road from a Pilot truck stop to a local restaurant, where we noticed a VERY LONG HOSE around the back of the building-hooked up & ready-that's where our current supply of water came from (pirated water)LOL. The next day we traveled a few miles to a little town called Pontiac (named for an Indian warrior) which had an awesome Route 66 museum along with an adjacent War museum-all of which were free! Then we left Pontiac headed toward Chicago, stopping about 30 miles from the city at a Cracker Barrel (where I'm typing this message) which happily is right next to a hotel, which is providing free wifi for our surfing pleasure..Saturday, weather permitting we have some destinations planned in Chicago, before we resume our travels westward...
