This morning, we got up early so that the mechanic could start work on our trailer as soon as he arrived at the shop at 7:00 AM. We went out to breakfast hoping that the work that we wanted to have done would be completed by noon. They did fix the siding and adjusted the slide, but there were a couple other things that they needed to get parts for. Although what they needed could be gotten locally, it would have been late in the afternoon before they would arrive to be installed. We felt that we could live with those problems until we got home, plus we have reservations at a couple places down the road and need to get back on schedule, so we canceled the other jobs and proceeded to resume our travel plans.
We left Elkhart and took the turnpike through Ohio and Indiana. To try to avoid the potholes that we experienced on I-80 south of Chicago when we were coming east, we decided to take US-30 in the westerly direction until we got to the point where we planned to go north on the far western side of Chicago. Well, that worked out pretty good until we realized we had lost track of where the highway was. We must have missed a turn that it made. Fortunately, the diversion was caught before we were too far off course and we were on our way again. This is where we crossed the Wisconsin River.
There is lots of farm land in Wisconsin. We didn't see many Wisconsin cows, but the fields have been planted and are beginning to sprout. This green strip must be an area that either is planned to separate crops or is not conducive to planting, for some reason.
This is our campsite at the Red Oak Campground in Baraboo, WI. It is a nice campground, but it is obvious that camping in this part of the U. S. is just getting started and the clean up from winter is still a work in progress.
Tomorrow, we will be on the road again.
