Land of Lincoln

We have landed at Fox Ridge State Park near Charleston, Illinois.  We drove through St. Louis, MO and saw the Gateway Arch in the distance. There was a lot of road construction happening so Margaret (our GPS) took us on a detour north of St. Louis and we did not want to drag the 5th wheel through city traffic and construction.  Something we have noticed in the Midwest is the highways are narrow 2 lane roads very similar to our country roads on the west coast.  Laton said he gets a strange feeling when he looks in his side mirrors and observes one tire of the trailer on the yellow line and the other tire edging the grass. Sharing the roads with all this large (did I tell you very large?) farm equipment is somewhat nerve wracking for me.  We might stay another day because I want to see the Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site.  It appears to be a living history working farm. I think it will be interesting.  And we have come enough miles that we need to change oil and do a little maintenance on the travel trailer.  So tomorrow is chore day (hope I can fit in some card making!)
