On to yesterday's travels (since I was too lazy to post last night).
Something I treasure about trips like this is finding that person who really loves where they live and wants to share it with me.

Let's get back to camping
... do Drops of Jupiter live. It is 10:00 and it’s time to pack up and get going. I did shave this morning. Too hot to be growing fur on the face. More later. Headed off south east. It’s Friday so this is the 7th day of the adventure. Doing some major traveling now. Headed to Florida. Ended up in Wakonda State PArk. Unbelieveably hot at night.

It was kind of cool though, because I had to be in a reenactment of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith a couple weeks later.It was a really interesting experience, besides the screaming babies that were in our tour.
After touring the jail, we got back in the car, and headed back to Chicago.
