Day Seven

From Kathy Perry



We woke up at about 6:30 and got on the road shortly after that. It was a good thing we stopped when we did because there was a note on the highway saying it was closed over night for repairs. Making it through Minneapolis, MN was really easy with the GPS, it took us around the outside of the city which is awesome. When we went this way last time we went down I90 which took us right through the city. We went by Wisconsin Dells at about 1:00 pm and we considered stopping but decided to go on, we ended up stopping about 3 at Madison Wis Koa. They had bike rentals so we rented a 2 seater (side by side) and zoomed around the KOA. We took Sirus and Adian at seperate times for runs. Sirus about pulled us all over the park. While we were over renting the bike though one of the dogs had a case of the runs in the RV.. Yuck! Oh well got that cleaned up. I think it might have been corky he is looking a little under the weather. My poor baby. He is such a good travelor, he sleeps under the table all day. We went to heat the water once we got it all set up and it still wont light so we will need to have someone look at that. I just dont know how to light the pilot. We at least have water. I guess hot water is for another day. Ken got the new locks on the hatch doors. they were not exactly the same so he had to jerry rig them but with the old parts and the new it worked well. If you look at the "day one" you will see how the ferrets cage looks, we built it into the closet, the main problem with this is that you can not open the bottom door on the cage because of the wood bar from the closet, Since we want to sell the rv we do not want to cut it out. Also Strabo can not be put with the other ferrets so that means I have to have the cage seperated into two.

Should be passing through my neighborhood tomorrow. Depending on road construction. THere is a huge RV place near Waukegan, IL. On Washington str near Green bay road (tom Jones) I do not know if they are any good, but have been there for years.

There is bad construction near the Gurnee Mills exit on the Tri state tollway (I294/57 and parts of I90 ) Back up there is horrendous in spots.
