Homeward bound

Homeward bound.  As we begin our trek home, we see some pretty heavy rains down the road.  Luckily, they dropped south and east of us before we arrived.  We arrived at our campground in Amboy, IL a little earlier than we expected.  This allowed us to look up a nearby state park to visit.  Our choice was Castle Rock.  It sounded good but it ended up very disappointing.  There was no place to view Castle Rock but we were allowed to climb steps to it's top.  The view was ok but not what we expected.  Walking along the river

below there were some fairly interesting places.  Driving around the farm land of upper Illinois, there are some beautiful places.

Our original plan was to avoid the heat and our plan came together.  We haven't had any days above 85 degrees.  A lot of our days in Duluth never got above the mid 70s and there was generally a good wind.  So far, the only rain we have had was one night in Duluth.  That was a doozy though.  Winds less than 1/4 mile away reached 62 mph.  They really rocked our RV.  For awhile it felt like we were on a ship in Lake Superior.

As we have in the past on our way home, we began discussions about our next trip/s next year.  Will it be Idaho, maybe New Orleans, how about Savannah or maybe Texas?  We are excited to see where it will be.

We crossed the Ky state line and decided to finish off the trip and not stop for the night.  Home now.  In transferring my photos from one computer to another, I lost the last day of photos at Duluth.  These were photos that I had wanted to make all week but the weather wasn't good at sunrise until our last day. Well, that was the worst thing that happened so, no big deal.  I'll stop crying soon, I'm sure.
