RANTOUL, IL: Enjoying Life and Friends

Our time in Rantoul will come to an end on Friday and we will continue our travels toward northern Wisconsin.  It's been a very enjoyable time at the Prairie Pines Campground, visiting with Jim & Linda and Mike & Terri, exploring a little of the surrounding countryside which is dominated by corn and soybean fields, and soaking up the relative quiet atmosphere here as compared to the very busy daytime environment we were in at Tom Johnson's. 


Monday, we went to Champagne, about 15 miles away, and visited a Meijer's store for the first time - very impressive. 

Monday evening, we all got together for grilled hot dogs and brats, and several side items, and finished the evening around a campfire.

The weather for the last 5 days has been gradually warming up with a few periods of rain, and there's usually a nice breeze blowing.  We're hoping for cooler weather once we get to Wisconsin.
