This rooster stood guard as we entered Camp Lakewood Campground in Effingham Illinois, arriving about 2:30 on Wednesday May 27. Arriving odometer reading 62,222.9. We drove into town hoping to try some local brews at Effing Brew Company but they were closed. This may be a sign of things to come with Covid-19 imposing so many restrictions on what can be opened. We got some groceries at Aldi and returned home to Acey.

That is the longest vehicle I seen in a long time, plus the car. Good grief, how long did it take you to learn to drive that ????? Be careful and have a wonderful time. If you talk to Linda Nelson again, tell her hello. don’t know if she would remember me or not. Blessings !!
I have only driven around a campground- but we took a Driver’s Confidence Course when we bought Acey last year and I will drive… Jim loves to drive it! And I am sure Linda N remembers you both! 😊
