7/6/21 Yeah, we’re on the road again and traveling to see Zoe, Gabe, Pearl and Lulu in Washington state. The first two days of travel were much longer than planned due to traffic and construction. John’s plans for six or seven hour days turned into 10 to 12 as we made 835 miles to Elkhart Indiana on the second night. Listening to James Taylor “The Secret to Life Is Enjoying The Passage Of Time” and Johns favorite “Damn Damn This Traffic Jam, hurts my motor to go so slow” helped pass the time. The next trip we’ll add another day so we don’t arrive so tired. Guess we gettin old.
We stayed at a Walmart parking lot in Dubois, Pennsylvania the first night which was packed with other RVs. Have never seen this many RVs on the road. A phenomenon that has occurred as a result of RVing being a safe way to travel during Covid. John started making reservations in March for this trip and often found they were full or we were getting about the last spot. We stayed at our favorite Elkhart RV Motorhome Hall of Fame Museum and took the time to tour the new exhibits of RVs and motorhomes dating back to Conestoga wagon’s.

| Will and Carol |
7/8 Met up with John’s cousin Will Duke and his wife Carol at their seasonal Hickory Grove campground in Sheffield Illinois. Tucked amongst the corn and bean fields, the setting was Midwest idyllic and dear to their hearts since they are farmers having inherited farms from there elders. A canal ran right through the fields and we spent a morning biking the towpath having the place all to ourselves.
