Today we drove from Hot Springs to Fort Massac State Park in Metropolis, Illinois. It feels good to be moving again after 13 days in Hot Springs. As usual those days were filled with appointments. We had 10 visits between doctors, dentists and the vet. We also installed our new hitch and had a new mattress delivered. And I washed and waxed the trailer. Amidst all that we managed a few visits with Jamie and the family.
It turns out that this is the oldest state park in Illinois and I appreciate the mature trees.
Matey appreciates the grass, great for rolling.
There’s a disc golf course that wanders all through these woods and I’m looking forward to trying it.
We are right on the Ohio River.
And there is the fort. Being right on the Ohio River I thought this was probably a civil war fort. Nope. This was a French fort, built to keep the English from moving west into the then French territories.
Altogether this is a very nice park, and it’s great to be moving again.

That really IS a pretty park. With your mention of being glad to be on the move again, it reinforces the wisdom of your decision to sell your house and buy a camper!!

That is pretty. I didn’t remember that the French were that far north. So much for my American history😏
