Hello to all,

We are in Caledonia WI. All is dry here.
They had a great deal of flooding in Milwaukee, but it is dry where we are.

We visited the Milwaukee Zoo and he Racine Zoo. Hope you enjoy the pictures of the adorable animals. The Milwaukee Zoo is wonderful!

We also visited The Wind Point Lghthouse. It was built in 1880 and was a working lighthouse until 1964. As of today the Coast Guard still lights it at night.

We have plans to visit some friends while we are here. We will be visiting some local beaches and going to the Racine County Fair tomorrow. Country artisit Rodney Atkins will be there we are looking forward to his concert.

We miss you all very much! Keep in touch.

Stay tuned for more Blog........

Love,
Bill & Penny

Hello to all.......

We arrived in Durand, Illinois yesterday (Friday) in the afternoon, after a drive with the RV through what seemed like a farmer's field -- thanks to the GPS.

The road through the farmer's field was two lanes with no lines and only wide enough for our rig. At one point we happened upon a one-lane bridge with no height measurements...we fit, but the travel was no fun.

The campground is nice...a wee bit in the country, but nice. Our site is also nice. Directly across from our campsite is the Sugar River! :)

We got set up and turned on the TV only to find out we were in a flood zone.
Being not too sure as to the county we were in or even the next town away, it was hard to follow the weatherman.

The night turned out to be very long. A Storm hit about 10:30ish and lasted until 5am. It rained very hard and the local news was reporting over 4,000 lightning strikes in a single 20 minute period. This kept up all night long. We were very worried about the river across the road flooding.

Thankfully the Sugar River so far has not crested...They had a lot of rain to our north so we are still watching it!

The Pecitonica River did flood and boy is it a mess all around us. You will see it in the pictures. So many roads closed and will be for some time to come as massive amounts of water try to flow southward!

I didn't want to post effected people's houses on the blog as we did see many half under water, but there was one floating down the river that I just had to post, so you could see just how bad it really is here.

One of the pictures is that of the local Fairgrounds. The fence surrounding it as well as their grandstanded racing arena is totally under water.

Enough said, We are safe....Thank God!

Love to you all,

Hello to all,

We first want to say Thank You to all our friends and family for all the fun times in the past few weeks. We had parties, lunches, dinners and friends to the campground. Very much great times had by all.
Hope you enjoy some of the many pictures taken during these times.

We are now in Shipshewanna Indiana.
Enjoying the Amish countryside, stores and food. Yesterday we went to a huge Flea Market here in town.
We had the chance to tour the Carriage Factory where our RV was manufactured. That was very intresting. Nice to see how it was built from the bottom up, now that we have fixed it from end to end inside! :)

We will be headed to Rockford, Illinois on Friday this week.

Stay tuned for more Blog......

Love,

Bill & Penny
