October 11, 2013 Westward HO......

We left the Fleetwood Repair Campground around 8:30 AM and headed west. (See previous post on new jack.)

We traveled today on the blue roads of Indiana and Illinois, thru farms and small towns - it was a beautiful drive.

Some pictures along the way:

Looks eerie with the fog:

This town was named “Markle” and check out the water tower - :

And if your name was Farkle, you would be Farkle from Markle -   .  (Sorry, I just couldn’t help it.)

A tunnel of trees:

Harvest Time:

Those machines fascinate me - love to just sit and watch them go!

We saw quite a few fields already harvested and plowed:

Flat areas where it seems like you could see forever:

Some great little towns - love this tower:

Many of these small towns have city parks and we had lunch at a lovely park in Fairbury, Illinois.

Love the colors:

We are spending the night in Mill Point Campground in East Peoria ($13.00/night with our Escapee Discount - it is also a Passport America Park).  A beautiful site in the trees with a view of the lake (Sorry, I did not get a picture).

During lunch, we made an appointment at Blue Ox in Pender, Nebraska - Next Thursday at 9AM.  So our plans are to slowly head that way with a few breaks in between.

Stay tuned and enjoy today.
