Filling the gap

Pictured: This is the carving I did after learning a new 'eye technique ' from Jim.

Now the agenda called for two weeks in southern Illinois at South Sandusky on Rend Lake, and a week in Kentucky before the Good Sam National Rally in Louisville. We had reservations but the problem was we had a gap in the middle on the weekend of the 4th. Everything that was reserveable was. That was at Corps of Engineers parks. We hoped to be able to get a ‘walk-up’ site and fill the gap. No such luck! Just nothing available. Fortunately I had checked at the campground at the fairgrounds in DuQuoin and they had lots of room. So after being turned away at Rend Lake we headed back to DuQuoin. We got a nice spot in the shade under a big Oak tree and settled in ‘till after the 4th. We even had fireworks right next to us at the fairgrounds. All in all a pretty good deal.

Then we did do our time in South Sandusky and now we’re in Kentucky at Rough River Lake. We’ve had nice sites and a pretty relaxing time of it. Kat has caught up on farming and I have done some carving and got the rig all spiffy for the Rally. So tomorrow we’re off to our third Grand National Rally. Looking forward to it!
