I got up and did my Bible study and then finished packing last minute items and a cooler for mom and dad to take. After cleaning the horse barn and picking some veggies for mom and dad, we got on the road around 10:30-11am. Trip wasn’t too bad but some weird things happened. When we hit 294 in Chicago there was a crazy hard rain in two different places. Visibility wasn’t too far and there was standing water. Shortly before the Wisconsin border a rock shot up and cracked our windshield. Then about Janesville we realized that our air conditioning wasn’t working in the truck. It was going to be a long trip. We had to drive most of the rest of the way with the windows down. We couldn’t listen to anything because it was too loud. We stopped in Rice Lake at Arby’s and met Mom and Dad. As we were leaving to go to Menards we ran into Bob and Sue going into the restaurant. We visited with them for awhile and then got some tools at Menards. Then we were back on the road.
Mom and Dad couldn’t find a hotel so the plan was to sleep at the Hermantown Walmart in the camper. When we got there, there were signs all around the parking lot that said no overnight parking. So I called the only other RV park I had found on the trip up. The guy answered and said they had an opening so we went up the road to this RV dive and couldn’t figure out where the office was so we stopped and asked some other campers sitting there. The lady? that came up to talk to us was either a transvestite or going through the actual change. She informed us that the office was at the liquor store by the highway. We went back to the liquor store and paid the guy and Scott and Dad got the camper backed into a spot. We plugged in but didn’t hook up any water. It was 10 pm and we were all exhausted and the mosquitoes were horrible. We couldn’t pull out the second bed because the camper was still hooked up to the truck and the bed hit the kayaks. Mom and Dad slept on the table/couch. Scott and I slept in the back bed.
