Day 112: Pontiac, IL

I just found where I had never published this post from back in July...

We left the Camp Inn factory in the morning and headed over to Little Crane Restaurant for breakfast with Jenn.  We were a bit amused when we came out of the restaurant and some locals asked about our two campers, which we had left parked out on the road.  We told them that they were made right there in town, under the water tower.  One woman's reply was "Is he kidding me?"  Camp Inn campers have always been a little bit of a special secret among their loyal owners, but it is always a bit surprising that they are even a secret in the town in which they are built.

It was interesting that we ran into Jenn at the factory, because while we were there we asked Cary how many Camp Inn owners were currently living full time in their campers.  The answer: us, Jenn and Bear.  Thus three quarters of the full-timers were present, a fair turnout for an impromptu Camp Inn Camp Outt.

We drove the 275 miles back to Route 66, where we are camping at the Livingston County 4-H Campground ($20, power, water and showers).  Our timing was good, as the Livingston County Fair starts on Monday, so the campground is completely booked starting tomorrow and through the end of the fair.  The start of the fair also means that the toilets and showers have all very recently been thoroughly spiffed up.

It's a nice little campground with lots of large, old shade trees.  We are camped next to one of the service entrances, so there's lot of traffic with so much going on in anticipation of the start of the fair.  But we suspect by evening all that hubbub will have calmed down considerably.
