3 days to get back home - 9-27 to 9=29-2010

On the way home we watched all that corn being harvested that was standing so pretty on the way up to Michigan. Harvest had come during the time we were gone and returned. It was so strange to me to have been gone that long, to see the season change. The farmers were out in droves with combines and  tractors to load the yellow corn into big trucks with long trailers. All day the scenery repeated itself.

David got mesmerized by the windmills standing in the middle of farmland and had to stop to inspect them at close range. He took an eery picture of one behind the motorhome. The rv looked like it had an antenna from out of space!

That evening we stayed at a very remote campground, found all the firewood we needed in the surrounding woods and one last time enjoyed an outdoor fire in the dark. David set up the tripod for the picture around the fire circle. It was sort of melancholy, the trip was really coming to an end. We only had about four hours left the next day to get home.

End of trip blues

You can see us the next day in our driveway back home. The decal of the US States map now had Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan filled in. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were already visited from a previous trip. Eight states out of 50........42 to go, YEAH!!!!       

Hope you enjoyed reading about our Western Michigan trip!! We are home now and will blog again on our next trip.

Already to go on the next big adventure!
