Before we left the campground, we spotted a nasty looking line of storms on the radar so proceeded to close everything up and put everything away. By the time we pulled out, the sky looked about as nasty as I've every seen it. It continued to look that way all the way to Peoria, although we only ran in to rain once.
Yesterday was kind of a non-camping day. We ran some errands and went to look at son Andy's recent aquisition--a CNC lathe that is part of a new business venture. It's a lovely turquoise but that's about all I can tell you about it. We came back to the campground to clean up and then headed south to Peoria for a birthday dinner at an Italian restaurant--that's probably not considered camping. Before we left the campground, we spotted a nasty looking line of storms on the radar so proceeded to close everything up and put everything away. By the time we pulled out, the sky looked about as nasty as I've every seen it. It continued to look that way all the way to Peoria, although we only ran in to rain once. Supper was excellent; I had a honey-roasted beet and arugula salad and butternut squash ravioli with walnuts. Afterwards we split two desserts between the six of us--a lemon tower cake and salted carmel budoni. Definitely not camping. The rain had begun as we exited the restaurant and the sky was black, but sporting a huge double rainbow. We could see the rainbow about half the way back to Kewanee. To our surprise, the campground was dry as a bone and no sign of any wind. I don't know where it went.
