sue sherman family: Only 350 miles to Tomah!

Our Walmart campground was safe and secure last night. It was definitely the right price…free! However, not very quiet. Even though there was a sign that read… “No Trucks”… there were trucks with their engines running all night. Then... somewhere in the distance, there was a motorcycle race going on for a while. Then there was the normal vehicle noise you hear coming and going at a Walmart parking lot. Other than that…we slept pretty well. We were up early and on the road for the last 350 miles of our trip. We were so happy we were up early, otherwise, we would have missed this stunning sunrise. No matter what time we had gotten up…I don’t think we would have missed the upright car stuck in the ground.

Still wondering…”WHY?”

It’s early and it’s Saturday…so going through Minneapolis shouldn’t be too bad. We were surprised at the amount of traffic when we were taking the bypass. The traffic was moving well; but then our GPS kept telling us to get off of 94. Well, we found out why…bridge out! I don’t think we ever have taken a detour to get to a detour that will take you to another detour to get back on your route. It was crazy!!! Then in the midst of one of those messes, was a dead deer and a car with its whole front grill smashed in. We had lost a hubcap somewhere along the way; but we’re not even going to take up issue with that

after seeing that driver’s problems!

A short while later, we were crossing the Minnesota border into Wisconsin. In less than two hours we will be home. We both survived a month of travel, 24 hours a day, in a 31 foot motor home... together. Vacations are great; but it’s always nice to return home and get back to your normal life again. I think we will be staying local for a while, since in the last 3 months we have driven south to the tip of Key West to the northwest coastline, fishing village of Homer in Alaska. We saw some wonderful sites and met some interesting people in those

12,000 miles or so…with unlimited memories.
