We bought some firewood, and cooked some brats over the campfire. Then we realized that there was a very active train track 75 yards from our campsite! We slept pretty well, even though we were awakened a few times during the night by a speeding train. Once, we thought it was thundering, but when we were totally awake, we discovered that a few rail cars were being parked on the siding about 50 yards away! So much for a quite night of camping.
The next day, we slept a bit late to make up for the loses suffered at the hands of the rail engineers. We left Clark's Ferry about 10:30 and arrived at Blackhawk Park in De Soto, WI about 3:00. It was a lazy trip with a stop for lunch included. The rally at Blackhawk actually started on Thursday, but we arrived on Wednesday because we can. About six units arrived that day, with several more coming in on Thursday and Friday. In total, we had 23 units there at one time or another.
Thursday, we had 50mph winds due to a cool front moving through the area. As you can see from the pictures, there was some damage, but nothing serious. Our car even suffered a couple of small dents in the roof from a falling branch.
Marsha and I left Blackhawk at about noon today (Saturday) so we can go to our grandson, Grayson's, 2nd birthday party tomorrow afternoon. We're looking forward to the party. Keep an eye on the blog. There just might be some pictures.
We'll have a couple of days to recover from the party before leaving for Tennessee next Wednesday for another camping rally.
Stay tuned!
