We got a late start out of Chicago. We didn't have to be out of the KOA until noon, so we took full advantage of that. I washed our laundry. I would have liked to say I washed and dried our clothes, but the driers were not so hot. Literally. It would have been more effective to have a clothesline up to dry the clothes in the sunshine.

Not as well staffed, but did have a chance to speak with a guide/docent dressed in period costume who was very informative.
