2015 - Back on the Road

Our summer trip was delayed a bit this year, so we didn't start out until Tuesday, July 7.   We spent our first night at a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Kodak, TN.   It was a hot day, and when we arrived about 4 p.m. the temp was 94 degrees.   During the night we had a heavy rain, and the wind rocked the trailer, but we were grateful for no hail.   Wednesday we traveled from Kodak to Columbus, IN.   The day was cloudy and spitting rain occasionally.   If you're traveling this summer, avoid I-64W in Louisville from exit 8 to the bridge.   I-65N in Indiana isn't much better.   Heavy construction which delayed us about half an hour.   We awoke on Thursday morning to 60 degree temps.   BRRR!   It was rainy again until we neared Peoria, IL where the sun peeked out, and by the time we reached the Quad Cities KOA in Rock Island, IL it was getting quite warm.   Very pleasant - low humidity and in the 70's.   Our campsite was beautiful.  

Today we arrived in the Amana Colonies for 3 nights.   We were told there's a good chance of rain and possibly hail.  Hope it misses us!
