This relocation has to be one of the easiest to navigate yet. From Sikeston to Dexter the landscape is completely flat. You can see for miles. Once you reach Dexter and Crowley’s Ridge, things start to get interesting. West of Poplar Bluff and the hills become like roller coasters. We moved from SE Missouri to Mountain View, Missouri in the south central part of the state all along US-60. In the heart of the Ozarks! Continue reading “Mountain View, Missouri”
Sikeston Missouri; Hinton RV Park; & Dexter MO
After a few weeks of visiting people and places in Indiana and seeing new places in Illinois, it was time to relocate our 40 foot home to a location on the other side of the mighty Mississippi River. It was about 200 miles and a 4 hour drive including one stop along the I-57 southbound route. Continue reading “Sikeston Missouri; Hinton RV Park; & Dexter MO”
Effingham Illinois; Camp Lakewood Campground; Terre Haute Indiana Day Trip
After a couple of weeks of exploring our old haunts in Indiana and visiting with family, we drove the 4 hour trip over to Illinois. Effingham is south central in the state and is located on the junction of two major interstates: I-70 and I-57. Our route was quite easy through Lafayette to Ind-231 down to I-74 to Illinois then to I-57 south. Continue reading “Effingham Illinois; Camp Lakewood Campground; Terre Haute Indiana Day Trip”
Indiana Part 3; Meeting Friends & Saying Goodbyes
We stayed in the Hoosier State for about 3 weeks and this wraps up most of the visit. We enjoyed many family visits and explored many new areas of the state. Continue reading “Indiana Part 3; Meeting Friends & Saying Goodbyes”
Indiana Part 2; Lafayette & Prophetstown State Park
We moved up the state of Indiana on Aug. 20th to one of the nicest state park RV campgrounds that I have ever seen. Prophetstown State Park. Also one of the newest in Indiana. Plenty of green spaces, many trees between campsites, and wide open prairies. And miles of hiking/biking trails. We moved from Indy to near West Lafayette, only about 80 miles. Nice! Continue reading “Indiana Part 2; Lafayette & Prophetstown State Park”
Back Home Again in Indiana!
We had a nice short 2.5 hour re-positioning from Ohio to the near south side of Indianapolis. We like these uneventful travels with very few road changes. Our campground here just served as a spot to plug in the camper and then to visit with some family. The title of this post is the theme song of the state and is sung before the Indy 500 mile race. Used to be sung by Jim Nabors. Jim is still living and is best known for this song. He may have also been on the Mayberry show. Continue reading “Back Home Again in Indiana!”
Springfield, Ohio; Tomorrow’s Stars RV Resort
Our trip to Indiana from Medina Ohio required a halfway stop and we ended up staying there for 4 nights. The town of Springfield is just a few miles away from the campground and had a few things that we enjoyed seeing. The RV park had many activities going on, a swimming pool, shuffle board, horse shoes, etc. The only downside was our spot was near the entrance, so there was a steady stream of cars and golf carts parading by. Continue reading “Springfield, Ohio; Tomorrow’s Stars RV Resort”
Happy Labor Day 2017!
One last post from Put-In-Bay Ohio to capture a few picture that did not make the first cut. Today is a warm and breezy Labor Day as I get caught up on a few chores that were on my to do list and Trish is cooking up several freezer meals. Our current campground in Effingham, Illinois is Camp Lakewood right on the shore of Lake Pauline. Mondays are a huge checking out day at campgrounds as the weekend warriors leave, so we have gone from 100% full this morning to about 20% full now. Nice and quiet. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and a pause to take a breath, relax, and focus on what really matters. Continue reading “Happy Labor Day 2017!”
