South Bend, Indiana

We turned west and began heading home on Tuesday, July 25th. 'We' now included Anne, Sarah, Jenny, Roger, and Alan. The first overnight stop was a KOA in South Bend, Indiana.


There were nests in this sign at one of the service plazas.




Arriving at the KOA, Roger really wanted to play minigolf. Since they didn't have any colored balls available (they must have been in the collector at the end of the course), the woman at the camp counter drew faces on the balls so we could tell whose was who's.




And I decided to join the boys playing.









The KOA also had a nice playground.
























There was a pool, too, that we used, but I didn't take pictures.




Then back to the turnpike in the morning. I must have thrown at least $30 at these booths in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.




This McDonalds is actually in the middle of the turnpike, right near the tollbooths.




I can't believe I actually drove the Dan Ryan Expressway.




It, of course, was being worked on.




For a time, our lane was diverted to the 'wrong' side.




This is as much of Chicago as we saw. Our main intent was to drive through and arrive safely in Wisconsin.




The Lake Forest Oasis is a service plaza that arches over the road, with parking on either end for the two directions.
