Today we were up early with the 6 AM train. We decided to just get going. We emptied the holding tanks and were off.
The terrain was very flat and allowed us a bit better gas mileage, even if it is minuscule!
We arrived at the Springfield campground around 9:30 AM. Because check-in time is 11 AM, we had to pay an additional $5. By the time you get set up to use the utilities, it's approximately 30 minutes. So, do you think we could possibly use $5 worth of electricity in 60 minutes? But, what are you to do? Rules are rules and you certainly don't want to sit in the car for another hour.
The temperature really dropped today. By the time we were set up, it was 55 degrees and very windy. So, it was a great day to cuddle in the covers, which Dave did and he took a VERY long nap.
I worked on our plan for sightseeing in Springfield and on up the road to Chicago and other cities. I had most of these plans done, but there are some holes in the route and some changes that had to be made now that we are not going to Calgary.
I'll say goodnight as I slink into my bed with the electric mattress heater and try it out!
