Heading to Goshen!

We left Greers Ferry after spending the weekend with the Stone's and Tim, Kim and Ashleigh. We were going to stop in Sullivan, MO but both Don and Rick decided that it was early and they felt they could drive further. Certainly didn't bother me. There's something about riding in a vehicle that lulls me to sleep...I have a hard time staying awake so sleep a lot of the way! (In case you're wondering, I don't have that problem when I'm driving!) Good thing there's music on the radio to keep Don company 'cause it certainly isn't me!!

Got as far as Vandalia, IL and found the local Wal Mart. They have an area set aside especially for trucks and motorhomes and it was already full! There were about 8 other motorhomes in the area we parked in and we were just across from all the trucks! It was a VERY busy area during the night. Once Don shut the window neither of us had a problem sleeping!

Got an early start (well, not really considering that we were going to change time zones before getting to our final destination). We had a little rain on our drive but other than getting behind a really large over-sized load...no problems getting to Goshen! We arrived at the fairgrounds and got set up in our temporary sites. On Friday we should move over to our full hook-up sites, but for now we only have water/electric! It works pretty well and I don't mind because we at least have electric! Spent a little time sitting outside before we headed to Ponderosa for their buffet! If it has buffet in the name, we're sure to get Don to agree to go! We all ate too much, although Joanne seems to pace hersalf a lot better than the rest of us! Now we're stuffed and settled in for the night! Tomorrow we are going to the Shipshewana flea market which is supposed to be one of the biggest in the mid-west! Today was their first one for the season! Until the rally starts we'll basically be doing the tourist-y thing along with relaxing and socializing!
