Knoxville, IL

Tuesday, Oct 7, 2014

We woke up to off and on rain again today.  Our planned drive is about 207 miles.  Most of it will be by Interstate 74.  We seem to be out of the stink bug area.  Yeah!!  We still find 1 or 2 every so often in the rig.  I hope they all go away soon.  It is still rainy and cold.  The wind doesn't help.

We are in Knoxville, IL at the East Galesburg Campground.  The owners just took over in May.  They are upgrading it.  It used to be a Holiday Travel Park and a KOA before that.  There are a lot of trees here which makes satellite use difficult.  We are in site 16 and by pulling all the way forward we were able to get a shot out.  Most of the sites here would not allow the use of satellites.

Had to pull forward for satellite

After getting setup we took a drive into Galesburg.  I wanted to see about upgrading my cell phone and there is a Verizon store.  The only problem is that they ship you the new phone and I won't be in a place for that to happen until the end of the month.  I am hoping that I can do this later this month.  I also got my hair cut at Great Clips which was just a couple of doors down.

Tomorrow we are headed to the Amana Colonies and will be spending 2 nights there.  We are scheduled to be at Winnebago on Sunday.

That is all for now.  Bye.
