June 24 Ogallala, Nebraska to Shelby, Iowa

Another day in the books, literally, as we keep a log of all the campsites we stay in.  We started this book before we left on this trip.  

Again, the photos are out of order and I will continue to work on putting the photos in order of our drive.  Regardless of this, the photos are beautiful.  The countryside is vast, green, lush, open and beautiful.  So many corn fields, bodies of water, industrial parks, homes that are just placed here and there along the freeway.  We are soaking up the U.S. of A.

When we arrived in Iowa this afternoon the temperature was 82 and the humidity was 70.  Not as humid as Ogallala.  It is now raining in Ogallala.

We found a Jimmy John's in Iowa and Scott was so happy.

June 20 - first day of our journey

Image
Hello, we left bright and early this morning from Bethel Island, CA and drove 7 hours and 11 minutes to land in Winnemucca, NV.  We are staying at the Model T Casino & RV Park.  The RV park is your basic cement parking lot with complete hooks ups which is a bonus.  We ate dinner at the restaurant in the casino and the food was delicious. The scenery on the way here was mountainous.  I have attached some pictures of us,  the drive up, our set up and the Model T Casino. Hope you enjoy traveling with us to Ohio.  Please keep in mind this is our first attempt at a blog. Scott and Karen

June 25 Shelby, Iowa to Peoria, Illinois

Image
Hello, we drove a little further than planned today and ended up at a beautiful campground in a most excellent space that looks out at the Peoria River.  The photos you will see first are of our view and campsite because it is amazing.  Plus we watched a lightening storm across the river....watched it come this way on the radar....watched the neighbors putting away their chairs and table....when Scott says we should put our stuff away...and no sooner did we set our book and drinks in the trailer did the wind begin.  We got the chairs and table put away just in time before the pouring rain, thunder and lightening started.  We watched the storm from inside our trailer with all the lights out. I was able to capture the compass with a lightening bolt across the app. Our drove from Iowa to Illinois was once again filled with water towers, lush green fields of corn, silos, the Mississippi River, wind turbine props in transport and the Rock River.       ...

July 8, 2022 - A day around Eastern Tennessee

Image
 Today we drove around Knoxville driving by five houses we had been watching on Zillow.  We crossed off four of them, liked the last one that we saw - it is now pending a sale.  Houses are going fast here.  Lots of new residential and commercial building in all of Tennessee. We took the scenic route to lunch as the navigation system said we would save 3 minutes.  Never again will we save 3 minutes to drive on the windy roads!   Abby and I do not do well on windy roads. The scenery is beautiful though.  For lunch we ate at Cooke Dough Monster Burgers and Shakes.  I had a grilled cheese pepperoni sandwich as you will see in the picture. Abby had cheese curds that were too spicy for all of us.  All of their cookies had been baked and sold.  You could buy balls of cookie dough to eat but you had to buy a minimum of four.  We passed on that and Abby had vanilla ice cream on a waffle cone.  I know, I know, I passed on cookie dou...
