We are at a Walmart in Plainfield, Indiana

We have decided to stop at a Walmart in Plainfield, Indiana. It is close to Indianapolis. There are a few truckers staying here too.

We had a bit of a mishap on our quest to find a Walmart. I was following the GPS’s recommendations and suddenly a sign for a bridge was ahead that indicated that the bridge was only about ten and a half feet high. Brutus is 12″1′ tall! That math does not work. There was only one street after the sign and we turned left on it. It led us directly to a private road with a sign stating that there was no tresspassing. There was no point to turn this rig around. So, I put on the hazzard lights and unhooked Julie and Dolly. I connected Dolly to Julie and Tammy drove that rig as I turned Brutus around and we selected another Walmart. Some fellows in a work truck stopped to ask if we needed help and then directed us to this Walmart. Whew!

We arrived without another problem. I pulled in and Tammy parked right next to me. We are leaving everything disconnected for the night as Zoe has to get to bed. As I am typing this on my phone, I can feel the RV rock while Tammy is hard at work trying to get Zoe to sleep.

We will leave here tommorrow for our weekend destination in St. Louis. Really, the campground is in Illinois and it is called East St. Louis. I had no idea of the geography in the area. I love learning all of this. This campground is supposed to have a beautiful view of the St. Louis skyline and of the bridge. Strangely enough, the place is called The Casino Queen. I wonder why. :) . I am excited as the ratings in Trailer Life give it good marks.

We plan to visit the St. Louis zoo and the addmission is FREE! Zoe loves fish and animals. I guess that I will have to gamble a little too. It breaks my heart (or something like that…).

In an earlier post, I was wondering if the moon that I saw in Canada is the same as in the USA. Apparently it is not as I think the one tonight is much prettier. I’m not biased…
