Rockford, Illinois

Sunny start to the day

Today is a traveling day, no tourist stops. We drive east on RT90, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. I had considered  returning north of Lake Michigan over the upper Peninsula the way we came out, to avoid the midwest heatwave. Since the temperatures were dropping back to seasonable, south of the Lake, we stay with the southern route home.

Quickly run into fog, nice for driving east into the sun

We stay at Rock Cut State Park in Rockford, a very large state park. Unfortunately the website address is the administrative offices, which are on the opposite side of the park from the Campground, causing us to drive a couple extra miles to get to the correct entrance.  Inexpensive and we have power. Still a little warm and we run the AC for an hour or so.
