Night #1

I finally took the wheel of the big rig as the sun was setting somewhere in Wisconsin. It's actually fun to drive! And you sit as high up as the semi drivers. As long as you don't look at the gas gauge, it's all good.

We've already experienced a few surreal moments. Just seeing Norm driving an RV was the first one. Crossing the Mississippi at midnight was another. And driving thru a wind-turbine field at 12:30am was amazing, once we figured out what it was. The red lights were all slowly blinking on and off at the same time, so the sky went from total black to red, alien-looking lights up in the sky.

Joe told me the stars are amazing. Had to keep my eyes on the road, so I look forward to enjoying them tonight.

In true Winer style, we arrived at our campground around 1 am. Frustration and hilarity ensued as we tried to set up and not disturb our neighbors. Jellystone is all that I dreamed and more - I'll let the other family members describe the splendor.
