Camp Reinberg, Palatine, IL, 326 mile jump from Grand Rapids, Michigan
This year we left October 7, and headed into Chicago to have dinner with my son-in-law and my daughter, Nick and Casey. We brought our camper to a Cook County Forest Preserve at which we stayed for their recent wedding. I was shocked to find it would take over an hour to get from there to the Lincoln Square neighborhood (near Wrigley Field), but we fought our way through rush hour and had a great meal with them followed by a stroll around the Square. The drive home at 9pm was a lot less stressful!

This cardinal visited our campsite on both occasions. Some say a visit by a cardinal is a good omen.
