One of the frustrating things about RV life–just one of…there are several, actually–is those occasions when you have to be somewhere more than a few hundred miles away within a few days.

Such is this week…and next, and the one after that. It goes on.

From Colorado to almost Ohio this week. Then from there to South Dakota next week. Then from SD back to Colorado in time for elk season. And those are all still work days!

So, for the first and longest leg, we’ve divided it up into several driving days. The last night, tonight, we’re boondocking in the Cracker Barrel parking lot in Effingham, Illinois.

The good news is that tomorrow morning’s breakfast will be a mostly painless affair.
