Awake: 5:51am Temp 73 sleep 6+51 overcast sky overnight @ Highland, Illinois.
Before leaving Highland, we walk to the Wal-Mart Store, buy some needed groceries & leave @ 8:25am. We continue on I-70 to I-44 to Miami, Oklahoma. The roads proceeded to be pleasantly smooth all the way to our destination, but the weather didn’t co-operate nearly as well. Our motorhome had several good washings along the way. Arriving @ the Newell Service Campground @ 2:45pm, we found a mere (3) sites in the main campground area vacant & grab one before any more units come roaring in.
Today's travel: 345 miles 6+00 time 56 gal used 6.2 mpg 56.9 avg speed.
We were both somewhat excited to be here again so before opening any of our slides, we walk around the Newell campground & parking area to peruse those pre-owned coaches, scrutinizing their floor plans & seeing the latest galley & kitchen gadgets. Then we just had to see the coaches inside the service building, looking closely @ those machines as well.
We attend 5:00 pm vigil Mass @ Sacred Heart church about (2) miles down the road.
Dinner: Italian sausage simmered with onion & green pepper, broccoli, & a whole wheat bun.
High travel temp=78 Lights out: 10:54pm
