View OH to MN in a larger map
We left Uniontown, OH on Tuesday and headed for Elkhart, IN. It was a beautiful and uneventful travel day. On Wednesday we appreciated having another picture perfect day for travel because our plan was to go around Chicago. Since we had never been there before we did not know what to expect. Dan did a wonderful job maneuvering through traffic with the RV and following the correct signs to get us around the city. I'm glad I did not have to drive the six lanes bumper to bumper!
We stopped in Wisconsin at Wisconsin Dells, the Waterpark capital of the world. It looks like a great place for families to vacation, but not in April. There were a few indoor parks open, but the majority of them were outside. We took a walk and were fascinated by all there was to see in addition to the waterparks: Army Duck tours, boat tours, race tracks, bungie jumps, magic show, zipline tours and many more.
On Thursday we traveled from Wisconsin Dells, WI to Monticello, MN which is west of the Twin Cities. The interstate took us around St. Paul and Minneapolis so we didn't see the downtown sections of the cities. We stayed a a campground on the Mississippi River. Here's where the weather went down the tubes. We planned to leave Friday morning to head west to North Dakota until we saw that they were expecting 3-6 inches of snow and strong winds. So we huddled in the RV with the electric blanket, ceramic heater, computer, good books, and movies we recorded on our Dish DVR. The roads should be clear tomorrow so we plan to continue west. When we cross over to N. Dakota we will have been to 49 states. Oregon is the only one that we haven't seen.
Most of you know that we are Florida wimps, but we are starting to toughen up. At this point 60 degrees would feel warm!
You seem to run into snow too often!! Wasn't last year enough!!
