Illinois-Rend Lake

Luckily we found a Corp of Engineers Lake just at the time we were ready to get off the road.  Our goal is always to quit before we get exhausted and 8 hours on the road is almost too much for us.  We stopped at the Illinois Visitors Rest Area and they directed us to this beautiful lake, a few miles off the interstate 57, with the (most important to us) Senior Pass discount.

It is terribly humid, 85%, and we have the air conditioning running.  I don't ever remember sleeping with the air on but tonight may be a first.

The long day has put a crimp in my creativity so I think I will just  post a few pictures.  Tomorrow we are heading for Kansas City.

    1. Thought of you when we ate ate the Cozy Table....then, a few miles down the road, we passed the Cozy Inn!

      Knew the Cozy Girl had to be somewhere close!

  4. Thank you, Sue, for your encouraging words. I enjoy your posts so very much, although, I got very embarrassed at a restaurant recently.
    I was trying to read the reunion story to my husband and kept losing my voice due to choking up.
    Thanks again for doing what you do and sharing your adventure.
