Hi again friends and family,
Ruth and Jim did "Get outta Dodge" today and headed down I-96, I-69, and I-70 before ending up in Effingham,IL. We saw much wild life along the way as we have trained ourselves to spot it as we move. That included today, but was not limited to; more than three coyotes, some deer, more than 30 wild turkeys, assorted birds including woodpeckers, Kestrals, Sharp Shinned and other hawks .The sun shone, the temperatures rose above freezing a little, and the ice finally melted off the trailer and from under the wheel wells. A lot of trucks splattered ice and snow pieces as we drove along.
The snow line was just south of Indianapolis about where the corn crops start to grow in earnest. It surely is flat, fertile soil. Flood watches still exist on the Wabash and Tippicanoe River areas.
We are settled in a Park we had camped in before but never as the ONLY ones in the Park. Sure is quiet! Ahhh! Temps are still cool (30F at 10:PM), but no snow or precip at this time although some is expected in the AM (light).
Although today's drive was a bit long (450 miles) listening to Harry Potter (6th book-Death Hallows) allowed the miles to roll along imperceptively.
We head for the outskirts of Memphis tomorrow at Marion AR. Stay tuned.
Hope you have the entry system to the blog figured. If not, ask for help from the younger generation. Blessings, Jim and Ruth (pictures will come soon)
