To travel "wherever the four winds blow...." - Wally Byam
Chebanse, Illinois to Adel, Iowa
It was another rainy pack up this morning as we got ready for our third day of traveling west to Iowa. Boy, was I going to have a job doing a deep clean on our floor between the service guys tromping in and out to now this rain and mud!
At least by the middle of Illinois, the rain stopped and it was dry for the remainder of our drive. It should have been a fairly relaxing ride along the interstate, but the concrete surface of both the Illinois and Iowa highways was so rough that Don ended up with an upset stomach.
I wondered what we would discover when we opened up the door to the trailer as these types of roads are like an earthquake hit us. We've had stuff thrown out of cupboards to the bikes being knocked over.
After a very tiring 8 hour plus drive, we finally arrived at our next campgroud - a KOA located west of Des Moines. It was after 5 pm and we had barely enough energy to partially set up camp before driving the few miles into Adel for dinner.
When we got home, we did some more set up, then crashed. We'll be staying for a week, visiting friends, biking and dancing.
