I am a girl for all seasons--using the term girl loosely. I have always enjoyed every time of the year, at least for a while. But fall is my favorite. Yesterday we began a short fall journey through Michigan and Wisconsin and the first leg took us across the prairies of Iowa and Illinois. Because of the dry year, some foliage and crops are beginning to turn, and on a beautiful, cool, sunny day the landscape was so rich, it took my breath away. Goldenrod and sunflowers, interspersed with sumac and dried grasses to make a carpet incredible to see.
We are in an 'urban' campground for overnight in Elkhart, Indiana. It's huge, since Elkhart is the 'RV Capital of the World' but lots of grass and trees unlike the gravel parking lots you find in most cities. Today we are going to RV Museum. They have a 1935 Covered Wagon trailer like the one I used in The Time Travel Trailer. I wrote the book based entirely on photos so I'm very excited to see the real thing.
Then we will head north a few hours to Holland State Park on the shores of Lake Michigan and be there until Friday. They are predicting rain for today and tomorrow but seem to need it so I'll keep complaints to a minimum.
