We were not in a great hurry as our drive was just about 200 miles today.  Also, it was raining and we wanted to wait for it to let up a bit.  Lola needed to go outside but she didn't want to go in the rain either!  It finally let up a bit and we got moving.  We stopped at the office and picked up some ice for the ice chests then took off.  we just got on the highway when Bill realized he had not picked up the jack pads!  First time that had ever happened.  The next off ramp was 5 miles down the road.  We pulled off to the side and unhooked the car.  I jumped in and drove back to the campground, about 15 miles total.  Luckily the pads were still there so I picked them up, put them in the car and drove back to the rig.  We hooked up the car again and we were off.  I guess the change in our routine threw us off.  The rest of the drive was uneventful.  We did stop at a rest area for lunch and to take Lola out for a walk.  She met another black Frenchie there and they liked each other.  The campground was easy to get to and we settled in around 2:30 PM.

When we pulled into the campground I said this park looked familiar.  After we were parked I looked up our older trip logs.  Yep, we were here in 2014.  We were also in the campground we left this morning in 2014 but that one didn't look familiar at all.

Lola finally ate her food last night about 9:30.  I am glad.  She is being a good girl and we love having her.

I decided to cook all the meat that was in the ice chests this evening.  That gives us a couple more days before it goes bad.  We are eating weird combinations for dinner while we try to eat everything but I am having to throw stuff away.

Tomorrow we have a short drive so won't be on the road until later.  We did cross into the Central Time Zone today.  Once we left Knoxville, IL the rain stopped and it was overcast most of the day.  It did cool off at the campground in the evening so we didn't need the air conditioner.  I like cool evenings.

That is all for now.  Bye
