Continuing to Bremen, IN

We have been weather traveling.  What I mean by that is that we travel when it's not too bad, lots of storms with rain and wind, cold too!  We had to leave Tom Sawyers Wednesday morning as they were closing the CG Thursday due to the rising Mississippi, they expected 4 or 5 feet of water where we were parked.  No problem.....we're otta here. 
We traveled to Johnston City, IL against a steady 30mph headwind gusting to 40mph getting 8.0 mpg and spend the night at a small city park called Arrowhead, we have been here before.  The weather was bad se we spent another night waiting out the rain and wind.  $12 a night for 50a and water, great price.
We next went to Rantoul, IL and Prairie Pines CG, been here before too, its a closed Air Force base.  Our mileage improved to 8.1mpg, ha ha.  We wanted to go to another CG that had gravel sites so we wouldn't get stuck but they were full so we took a chance back at Prarie Pines.  It turned out there was no problem, we cut through one site to get into another so we were on gravel most of the time and the ground was much firmer that I thought.  We saw a tremendous amount of water sitting in farmers fields and all the rivers and streams we crossed the last couple days were overflowing.  The sun finally came out so off we go to Bremen.

Tom Sawyer in West Memphis Arkansas

Judy enjoys staying on the Mississippi and watching the barges so we headed to Tom Sawyers CG in West Memphis.  We stopped at a Passport America CG in Texarkana, TX overnight to breakup the long drive.  No pictures of that place as it was a dump but what do you expect for $15 full hookups?
Jeff and Susan spent 2 night and we spent 3 nights at Tom Sawyer.  The weather had been wet and cold and it was nice the last day so we decided to stay another day.  They had to get to Bremen before us as they had to finalize their paint job and move into an apartment for a month.

Here we are parked next to Jeff & Susan.

Ya think it was windy looking at this next picture?  Clayton would have fun boating in these waves.
