As beautiful as Nappanee weather was, we drove through pouring rain all day today. Johnny navigated around Chicago successfully then on through Madison WI, quick rest stop to run 🏃 and have a pit stop for pups and on toward Eau Claire, WI. Boring day all in all but got us about 2 1/2 hours away from Duluth, MN our first planned stay for a few days. We are delighted to be in the Hixton KOA tonight, our hosts, Debbie and John Bierbach placed us in a perfect spot high up next to walking trails and a beautiful view, complete w resident kitty…love the wild flowers 💐 still hanging on in fall! We managed an entire dinner with the inside kitchen, and iron skillet with limited ingredients from the fridge and freezer. Sam is enjoying his after dinner stogie!

For our coach camping friends, we are glad to report cousin Eddie has learned how to adequately dispose of black and gray 💦 yay!
