Day 1 — RAIN & WIND

Kind of a crazy day to say the least.  Started out in a rain storm and drove for 5 hours in a rain storm.  Crazy rain…all the way through Indiana and half of Illinois.  We pretty much just picked the red and drove through it, creeping and crawling along at some points.  8 hours of travel netted approx 500 miles.  We had to give up and find a place to stop on the Illinois/Iowa border due to high winds.  At one point I actually yelled “hold on”  as the Minnie Winne was shoved into the emergency lane.  Decided then to stop ASAP.  We found a little cozy campground on the edge of Geneseo.  Cooked burgers on the grill and baked potatoes in the microwave for supper.  After a little walk and some camp games, we came in the camper to watch AGT.
