This is day 12 of retirement! Seems only natural already. Tomorrow is just another day. I am now in Springfield IL. Going to the Lincoln Library and Museum tomorrow. I have heard that it is great.
It has been raining or sprinkling my whole drive these last two days. I took old Federal Highway 61 from St Paul to Hannibal MO. Went through many small towns. Most of the roads were ok some were not. Iowa’s were the worst. Monday I drove 8 hours to Davenport and stayed in a casino’s parking lot. Ate dinner in their restaurant, listened to some dude play piano and sing 60s music. Donated $10 to a slot machine in 3 minutes. Used their bathroom about 4 times during the night; more than normal.
Today, Tuesday, I drove about 7 hours to Springfield. It takes me a little longer as I have to drive a little slower on two lanes roads. Also, my car pulls the trailer ok but it does not like hills that are two miles long (I measured them; more than one!)
I am in a KOA tonight and tomorrow night. Very nice, out of town, lots of trees, and electric hookup for my air conditioner.
Been fun. Will have to see what tomorrow brings.
Glad to hear it is going well.
