June, 2021
It’s not just what we see that captures us, but also what we hear. And as you can tell, we like to camp with the sounds of the outdoors: on people’s farms, mostly near water… and sometimes right by the railroad tracks. Hear for yourself.

Are We There Yet?
On a recent trip, we stopped for the night in Casey, Illinois, which is right by I70. We camped in the town’s park, which was wonderful. Casey bills itself as holding the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest pitchfork, rocking chair, golf tee, mailbox… well you get the idea. Any stop in this picturesque farming community would surely include a look-see at a few of these super-sized items. Alas, we didn’t stop to experience any. Not even a curious drive by to view the over-sized Dutch wooden shoes. We had come down with a rather unpleasant condition and the clock was ticking.
