On Our Way to Warmer Weather (?)

We left Indiana on Thursday morning and headed south, hoping to leave the cold windy weather behind.  As we drove through Nappanee, I was able to snap a photo of a sign that we've seen posted in an Amish farmer's field for at least a couple of years. One side says "Son, Please Come Home to Jesus" the other side says "Son, Jesus Still Loves You." 

  Main Street, Nappanee, Indiana

We traveled a familiar route, Hwy 31 south, then US 24 to cut over to I-57 in Illinois.  This took us past Rantoul, IL, where we were stationed for about 4 years when Dennis was in the Air Force.  It looked very familiar - fields that go on forever, corn on one side of the road and soybeans on the other.

We stopped in Effingham, IL around 2:30 at Camp Lakewood RV Park. Easy on/off from the Interstate, nice level sites, Passport America Park, and the owner was also Retired Air Force. Maybe that came into play when we gave us a great site right next to the office. 

It was a nice park, but the weather was still pretty chilly and windy.  Paddington and I both bundled up to go for our walk.

We were on the road by 8:30 the next morning, headed to Carthage, Missouri and CoachLight RV Park.
