Day 12, Thursday August 6th – Pack up and point east

Today we got up and had a good breakfast at camp then started packing up for our long drive home.

John and Bill were also packing up and planned to leave early. When John went to load his bike it would not start, it had been sitting all week and we suspect it took on some water in the rain and hailstorm on Monday. We checked the obvious, battery, fuses, etc., but ended up pushing it onto his trailer. John will try to get it fixed on his way home, he is headed for Yellowstone and a few other parks with cuz Bill.

We had been here at Hog Heaven for 7 days and really have had no issues, they do a pretty good job of managing to their capacity and try to make it a pleasant stay.

We camped near some of the same people we did last year, it was good to see them again and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.

We pulled out of Hog Heaven about 10AM and jumped onto I90 with 1000's of others going east, traffic was pretty heavy but kept moving. 



 We drove to Sioux City, SD and pulled into the Cracker Barrel to use their parking lot for the night. We drove 376 miles in about 8 hours, not that great of time, but we did have stop and go traffic a few times. We are parked in Cracker Barrel but all craved pizza. Ed and I walked to the store for beer, while June and Jean walked to Domino's for Pizza and we met back at the RVs...it was the best Domino's ever!

Tomorrow we will press on east and are thinking that we might take the route back through Canada versus the droning I80/I90 route. If nothing else, it will be a change in scenery.  About 1500 miles to go….
