We still have the park completely to ourselves. :-)
The groundskeeper ran over our lights with his riding mower. :-/

Illinois, Tonight
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.
10 Tips for Working From Home | The Art of Manliness
I’m grateful to have an employer and management team tolerant of full time telecommuting: they embrace it!
The Art of Manliness brings us ten tips for working from home; for the full-time or even the occasional telecommuters.
Deer Creek Valley RV Park
…and the adventure continues…
Tonight’s splurge: a full hookup site while in transit out to Indiana at Deer Creek Valley RV Park in Topeka, KS. After five days’ boondocking in the wee trailer, we’re all looking forward to nice, hot showers followed by some cool A/C.
We were looking for a full hookup last night before we left Denver, but found they were all booked–on a Monday night!
Then we started looking for any RV site with a dump station–also entirely full.
Finally settled for the last-ditch option in transit: a Walmart. We also had the pleasure of enjoying the sound of two large semi trucks all night long. Fortunately, the kids slept blissfully through it.
But tonight: all of the modern conveniences.
Eastward!
Deer season is still underway in Colorado, but we could only stay for the opening weekend. On the plus side, of all the other hunters in the area, it seems we were most successful in finding deer. On the down side, we weren’t successful in harvesting one. But there’s always next year!
The reason, of course, that we it stayed for the opening weekend is that I’m using the rest of this vacation week for our drive out to Indiana to pick up our new fifth wheel!
Currently, in the road in Kansas where the temperature is a very warm 93F, with that classic Kansas wind pushing us around.
