Elkhart, Indiana

The skies have really opened up this morning! I don’t think we’ve seen this much rain in the entire three years we’ve lived in Pocatello as came down this morning. The campground is awash in water and getting unhooked from water and electricity will definitely mean getting feet wet. Nina asked how we would know if there was a tornado in the area. I don’t know … maybe there is a siren that goes off?? Anyway, tornados always go through trailer parks. Does an RV campground count as a trailer park? This one has space for about 390 outfits, but only about a third are occupied. Maybe that’s not enough density to be a tornado magnet….

We were supposed to stop in Tinley Park, Illinois last night but it was going to be close to 5 p.m. when we got there and sitting at the table in the motorhome in the campground with not much to do for another five hours seemed a bit much, so we kept on driving another three hours to Elkhart, Indiana. Just before we got here we crossed into the Eastern time zone and it suddenly got another hour later. So even though right now this morning the clock says 7:30 a.m., in my brain it is actually 5:30 a.m. and I should still be asleep. Nina’s been up for a couple of hours, so she’ll get to drive while I snooze. We’ve got about six hours of driving left to the campground in Grove City, Pennsylvania. The rain has almost stopped although there’s still a lot of thunder outside. It’s about time to button the motorhome up and get this wagon moving eastward once again.
