Even though our latest stop has been in central Illinois, we haven’t been far enough north to escape the heat wave settling across the Midwest. Mark and I have become thankful, very quickly, for campsites with electric hookup, trees, clouds and an air conditioned camper. I didn’t realize this part of the US could be as humid as New Orleans! Hopefully, in another week we will be far enough north, in Minnesota, to be out of the current jet stream’s “heat dome”. The other thing we’ve had to adjust to, with summer camping, is the increase in mosquitoes. Our screened bug tent has been a lifesaver. We are in a State Park called Morrison-Rockwood. It is a beautiful park near the quaint town of Morrison. We got up early one morning to explore the park and town on our bikes. What a great place to celebrate America’s Independence!
