Lake Delton, WI

 

Interesting drive out of Underwood this morning.  Took mostly back roads down south to hook up with I-94, then it was I-94 all way to our destination.  Actually, we took 694 around Minneapolis – didn’t really need to visit the Mall of the Americas.  Crossed the river into Wisconsin – still on I-94.  We did run into some traffic because of an accident which probably delayed us a little less than an hour.  We stopped at a Camping World to have the lights checked out, but they were less than helpful.  In Osseo, Vi spotted a Ford dealer and we pulled in there to have them check it out.  Since the umbilical cord had checked out ok in Underwood, it had to be a fuse, but we couldn’t figure out which one.  It didn’t take them long to get it squared away – even bought an extra 40 amp fuse, but it probably won’t happen again.  Total of $6.00 to have them get it working.  Now signal and brake lights work fine – makes it a lot safer.

 

We had planned on going to Madison, WI, but we thought we’d stop around 5:00, so we ended up at Lake Delton, a little north of Madison.  Traveled about 390 miles and that was a good day’s drive.  Good campground – Countryside RV Resort – good rates and great layout.  Luck of the draw, but we really got a great location.  Tomorrow promises to be an interesting drive through Chicago, but at least we won’t be hitting it at rush hour.

  Quick, what’s the capital of Kansas.   Darn, that was too easy!   We left Scott AFB early this morning and headed west (where else?) on I-70 through St Louis and across Missouri.   Confusing driving through Kansas City (which is actually in Missouri) – too many crossroads and interstates going through that city.   I think we crossed the Mississippi once and the Missouri twice – not sure how that works out.   The Arch in St Louis was pretty in the fog and rain.   Finally half-way across Missouri, the sun came out and we had blue, cloudy skies for the rest of the trip.   Made a side trip on Exit 66 to visit the Cheese Store.   After seeing their advertisements for miles, we thought it would be a good spot to take a break.   Located in a small town, they had a wide selection cheese, wine, Dotty’s pretzels, etc.   We contributed to the local economy and then made our way back to I-70.   It’s fun figuring how where I can turn ...

 Well, when we left Oakley, the wind was blowing fast and furious (what a great name for a TV series).  Anyway, as we traveled west on I-70, we could see plenty of windmills which were taking full advantage of the 40 mph winds.  The town on the Kansas - Colorado border is Kanorado, guess that was better than Colosas - how original!! We had made reservations at Buckley ANG base just northeast of Denver and, we were lucky to get the last spot!  Got all set up and then called Paul and Sandy.  Since Sandy had a conference call at 3 pm, we did some shopping and then went over to their home in Centennial.  Had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather sitting on their patio.  Good conversation, bird-watching, and then dinner.  Always fun to get together.  Might be able to revisit our anniversary celebrations in Monterey in July.  Time will tell.
