Yes we have traveled almost 900 miles from Collingwood to a little place past St Louis, Missouri.
We left Wade and Jen's happy home on October 20th and on the first day we drove through the rural southern area of Ontario to Windsor and on through Detroit. We spent the first night in a little place called Ypsilanti, Michigan near a Ford Automobile plant. We had a dreadful night as a terrific wind and rain storm hit, one of our motor home alarms kept going off and the heater frequently ran as it was very chilly. I think we had about 3 hours sleep! The next day we had a sunny, but windy traveling day. Of course, it was windy as we were near Chicago. We sped by the windy city and spent the night at Pontiac, Illinois and you guessed it there was a manufacturing plant for Pontiac cars in the town. Our camp site was called the Livingston 4H Camp site with barns, corrals, show rings and housing for 4H members and the judges. We were the only campers along with the camp managers. Again, a very cool night with the furnace working overtime and frost on the roof tops in the morning. Today, being October 22 we decided to have a shorter drive and play golf as the weather had turned much warmer and the wind had dropped.
We golfed at the Mermac Lake Golf course and it was shorts weather today. Tonight we are at Stanton, Missouri and tomorrow we are off to Branson.
