9.15.21 gun creek campground

We stayed at site 048. The site has electric hook up, dump station, shade, level, easy access, cell service, fire pit, table, grill, clean showers, restrooms, pet friendly, hiking and water access.

PP discount, so our site rate was $9/night.

Today's first stop (after McD's) was the Hard Rock in Gary Indiana for a pin. From there, we headed south toward our campsite in Whittington, IL. Julio stopped at the CUTEST little town for a lab cache that consisted of several murals in the 'downtown' area of Arcola in Amish country. We passed by several farms with buggy outside and farmers working in the heat dressed in pants, long sleeves and hats. One house had a clothesline full of Amish clothes drying in the warm summer sun. What a find! We missed the annual Broom Corn Festival where you pick your cornstalks and they makr you a broom from what you've chosen. After that we continued on our route and Julio surprised me with a stop ate a small town bar for beer and a late lunch. Our campsite is on a peninsula and we are the ONLY camper at the end! Another beautiful campsite! Although, it isn't level and we couldn't get level and I kept waking up all night long feeling the unevenness and worried that we would roll down the hill into the water!
