When we are loading the camper, Sandy makes sure she is near a vehicle. She does not want to be left behind and we don't want to leave her behind either. Carol drives the truck with the camper and Sandy and I follow behind in the car. After we get the camper set up in our spot (#204), we park the truck and drive the car for the next two weeks. It saves lots of money for gas!
This old motor inn is located on US 36 near the Illinois/Indiana state line. It has never been open since we have been driving this road which has been at least 30-40 years. In its hay day, it was probably filled nightly with travelers passing through the flat farmland of Central Illinois heading east and west. There are several two unit cabins set back in the small wooded oasis. I wanted to get a picture of this symbol of an era of travel long ago before someone comes in with a bulldozer and puts an end to it.
We had a cool but clear night but woke up to thick clouds. Because there is no Internet near the park, I am posting this as we drive back to Decatur to pick up Keegan. It will be his first camping trip with papaw and Memaw. It is a good day for this drive because it is raining. I hope the rain ends before this evening. We would like to have a campfire and some s'mores!
