Thu (9-10-09): We left Gallopilis, OH about 8:30 a.m. this morning and traveled with the Halsteads till they turned off in Indy to go to their daughter's house. Mem had given me several Charles Martin books to read and I took advantage of a lot of sitting time to get well into the first book, "The Dead Don't Dance". I would highly recommend this author!
I70 south and west of Indy was VERY bumpy. Chuck even found a screw on the floor and now wonders what it came out of! Wonder what else has loosened up! We met up with Jim and Lois Campbells at the Wal-Mart Supercenter [812-299-4677; 5555 S. US Hwy #41; 39.398650, -87.404300]. We all went inside to pay our camping fee and came out with a chicken for dinner and wiper blades for the Campbell's coach. This store even sold some liquor at the checkout counter where they also sell cigarettes.
Jim made Lois and I martinis for happy hour and we did get happy! We had dinner in their coach--chicken and salad--and enjoyed spending some time together catching up. We really enjoy getting to travel with this couple!
Tonight we'll sleep next to a corn field and hear a train in the distance. Tomorrow we'll have just a couple of hours of travel time before we get to our friends, Larry and Patty Hellrungs, where we'll camp in their driveway for a couple of days. Life is good!
