Day 38

Date: Tuesday August 12, 2015

Location at the beginning of the day: rest area near Gary Indiana

Distance to drive: about 200 miles

Hours to drive: 3

Destination: Rock Cut State Park (near Rockford Illinois)

Planned activities: get to the campsite and pick up beer (to maybe or maybe not drink because alcohol is not permitted in state parks in Illinois)

Quote of the day: “Oh my!!!” said by some, but felt by all as we drove through Gary

Indiana.  Due to construction there was a very unclear detour and we ended up taking a cruise down one of the main streets of Gary.  It is very run down.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat, which means I am getting a cold.  I should have known it was coming.  Suzanne was sick the last week we were in Montreal, the big one had it and the little one was so sick one night that I ended up having to sleep with her. 

We enjoyed a symphony of creatures fireside.  There were cicadas, crickets, frogs and many others. 

Sorry that is all I have for today.  Feeling tired and sick!
