Last night we had to get up in the middle of the night to put the AC on and by the time we left at 10AM the temp had already risen to 93 and by the end of the day we saw 103.
It was an easy ride through Decatur to Bloomington, IL. Still in prairie country where it’s so flat you can see for miles. Lots of wind farms and seed production plants. Miles and miles of corn and soybeans again. The campground we stopped at for the night was a good choice, lots of shade and a nice pool. Every site has a huge tree and it’s very breezy but 103 is 103. Got here early (12:30), set up and had lunch. Very quiet here, not many people when we first pulled in but it’s getting busier as the day goes on, mostly local people from only a few hours away. Caught up on e-mails and the web-site then read for a while and went in the pool which felt really great.
After dinner I sat outside for a while, it got a bit cooler after the sun went down. Saw lots of robins flitting about and a few rabbits eating the clover. We might watch a DVD later.
Tomorrow off to Crystal Lake to see Harry’s brother, Jim and his family.
