Wisconsin Trip 9/29-10/7/2002  
 
Day 6
10/4//07
     After a nerve-racking drive around Chicago when my left hand accelerator kept hitting a "wall" and slowing down, we arrived at Roger's in early afternoon.  We drove immediately to the RV Hall of Fame where Elmer Frey is honored as the third inductee in 1972.  It is a beautiful facility highlighting the best of the recreational vehicle past and future.
     When we returned home, Sue and Diann carried me into the pontoon boat so that we can go for a ride on the river.  Rocky got to go along too.  It was one of those beautiful fall evenings with many ducks on the water and geese flying overhead.  The battery on our camera went dead, and we didn't get any pictures.  When we got back, Sue stir-fried some steak and vegetables for us -- yummy.

Day 7 10/5/07      Roger's shortcut map to Kelly's place was great until we got into Middletown.  As shown on the map we followed Main Street until we got lost.  With some help from a local woman, we soon met Jeff and Kelley waiting for us in front of their house.  Shannon arrived from school, and soon Amadee and Haley appeared as well.  We retired to the pool for a drink, and Amadee showed off her jumping skills into the pool.  We had to leave too soon.  Jeff gave us some of his beautiful pottery.
      We had bypassed Dayton because my cousin Debbie and Bill were on a tour in Italy.  It was a good thing, because it was very late by the time we reached Louisville.  Behram and Gool Randelia waited patiently for us and served us a wonderful Indian dish for dinner.
Our Super 8 Motel did not have a roll in shower and served very meager breakfast.

Day 8 10/6/07
     We arrived at Nancy and Bruce's about 10 a.m. but no one is there.  Again, not having a cell phone caused us to miss them.  We talked to a neighbor, and, since it was Saturday, he thought they had gone into town.  On the way south, we passed the town where they had an old car show and I believe that's probably where they were.  We stopped for the night in northern Mississippi near Jackson.  My cousin Danila was having surgery that week so we couldn't see her and her family.

     We left early and arrived at Liberty about 3 p.m. Diann was glad to get home.  I drove home myself, glad that I had taken the trip.
