We have had a great time at the Eastern Gypsy Journal Rally. Our heads of full of new information which will help us travel smarter and safer. Nick & Terry do a great job of organizing seminars and vendor displays to keep us up to date on information and products.
We have traveled from Elkhart, IN down to Clinton, IN (southwest IN right next to IL state line) today. Our GPS gave travel time as 4 hours. We always add an hour or two for lunch, gas stops, Wal-Mart, etc., so arrived about 3:30. Gene is catching up on TV watching (tennis mostly) and I'm catching up on emails.
We only traveled on the interstate for a short time. Our preference is to travel through small towns and enjoy the scenery. Our lunch stop in Lafayette was at Camille's Cafe. It was similar to Panera Bread, but had salads, sandwiches, pannini, & smoothies. When we left there, we passed right by Purdue University.
Our route had us crossing the Wabash River a total of 4 times. Although the river is wide, the level seemed quite low. One section showed many boulders in the middle - not a river I would want to travel in any kind of boat.
This weekend is Little Italy Festival in Clinton. We'll go in tomorrow to see the displays, booths and hopefully see the "grape stomping".
We'll be here at the Thousand Trails Horseshoe Lakes preserve for several days, so I'll be able to have a good connection.
Until next time,
God's blessings and our prayers are with all of you

Glad you enjoyed the rally. I kept looking for you in photos on other blogs. I'm looking forward to photos of a grape stomping!
