We left Princeton, WVA about 1:30 Saturday afternoon and camped in the Cracker Barrel parking lot in Charleston, WVA Saturday night. Arrived in Alton, OH Sunday afternoon about 2 p.m. AH! Civilization!!! Within a mile or two we found a Kroger grocery store, a Wishy Washy laundromat, and every fast food restaurant known to man! Unfortunately the museum we drove all that way to see was closed until the day we left! We caught up on laundry, did some shopping and found a Catholic museum called Jubilee in Columbus, so drove into Columbus to see it. A priest had taken over an empty Catholic Elementary school, and all types of Catholic memorabilia could be found - altars, organs, art work, vestments, etc. were there, and if a mission church needed any of the things that were there, they would be shipped to the church that needed them. It was really a walk back in time!
Left Alton, OH on Wednesday and camped overnight in Champaign, IL at a small campground outside of Champaign. We had camped there on several trips across the USA, so it was a nice midpoint stopping place.
The next morning we left Champaign and headed to Galesburg, IL known as a railroad town and the birthplace of Carl Sandburg, poet, author, columnist.
