We are back in Illinois. Will be home tomorrow. Just thought I would post some shots of the fabulous camp sites we had on the way home. This is not a parking lot but a camp ground.

This one wasn't much better.

We are trying to find out whether it is a state or a Federal law that all camp grounds that are overnight spots have to have train tracks very close by. One last parting picture until June when we start our Canada trip.

Time to do some catch-up posting.

                                     Since spring was starting in AZ the flowers and the cactus were in bloom.

We had a Birthday celebration for Donna

 

We got to meet Dwight and Donna's daughter Liz. Had a fun time with her.

My shirt tells it all.

Got some great pictures of the Gila River.

Yes this is the river. Back in the 30's they built a Dam and this is how it looks now.

Had a good time at the Four Peaks Brewery. Liz had never been to a Brew Pub as they don't have any in

Sylvan Lake, Alberta Canada. They gave us a brewery tour and even bought us a beer.

No matter how long Dot laid in the sun she just couldn't get a tan.

Carol always had to have her BIG OL' CUP of Coffee.

One last night on the road and we will be home. Another really grand trip.

We purchased a new Garmin GPS System and Garmin wants everyone to log on to there site and get the latest updates for the maps. The download took over 24 hours. In the process it used all of the 5 gigs that my air card allows so we were without Internet for 2 weeks. We finally got back on yesterday. We are now on our way home. We are in Clinton OK right now. When we got up this morning the trailer was really rocking and rolling. There were wind gusts at 40 mph. Towing a gigantic shoe box down a very windy road is no fun so we just sat were we are. I will post some more pics at a later date as I ran out of storage space.
