On Friday, we woke up early and started packing up the RV. It seems the longer you stay in one place, the longer it takes to pack up…because more stuff has been taken out / moved during the extended stay. Richard met his friend Chris for breakfast and then they both came back to the campground. Just before we left, I asked Richard if it was okay to pull in the bedroom slide. He said yes. Neither one of us realized the bicycles were still stored under that slide. Chris was outside at that moment, and noticed pretty quickly when he heard the metal of the slide crunching and bending. Ummm… Oops… It’s nothing big really (err…) and it doesn’t seem to affect the movement of the slide. Not sure if it’ll pose a leak problem. We’ll have the RV guys check that when we get back to Bangor.
The traffic around Chicago on Friday was MUCH worse than it has been the previous Friday, when we arrived.
At one point, we almost had a very bad accident. Richard was changing lanes at the same time a woman in a car was also changing lanes (into the same lane), and was moving into his blind spot. Good thing I was looking out the window to my side at that moment because I saw her just before she’d have hit us and I screamed, “NO!” Richard quickly moved to the left again. The lady never even saw us. It took about 15 minutes for my heart to stop pounding after that. We’ve decided we’re going to allot extra time from now on to trips in this area, and do whatever we can to go completely around Chicago to avoid the traffic (and their horrible, bumpy roads!).
Oh, and one other thing we saw today was a grass fire between the north/southbound lanes of the freeway in Michigan.
Tomorrow, we’re goin’ shoppin’ in Frankenmuth, MI!
