Brownstown, IL

Even though it is overcast, we are enjoying this morning since it is not raining.  The lack of rain did not last long.  It rained most of the way to OKAW Valley Campground in Brownstown, IL and was raining when we arrived AGAIN.  

It was raining hard enough that we just leveled and stayed inside.  The next morning the sun was shining so we walked around the campground.

Everything has been so green along our journey.  I guess the large amounts of rain and high humidity are a big plus.  

This was our view as we looked out our living room window the next morning.  We were parked next to the park area.  

The following 3 pictures show our site from several angles.

  

There was a nice swimming pool and a large covered pavilion with lots of picnic tables for groups to get together.

There was a pond at this park also.  As we walked around we thought we were dodging dog poop, but it turned out to be goose poop.

The water was so still you could almost count the leaves in the reflections.  Beautiful!!

We met this single guy that had this interesting camper.  It looks like the back of an old GMC motorhome attached to an extended 350 Ford.  It was actually manufactured by Revcon.  They are no longer made.  The guy had the whole vehicle covered in that Tuff Liner stuff they put in pickup beds.

We stayed here 2 days.  I took the time to enjoy the sunshine, catch up on the blog and do laundry.  Mostly enjoy the sunshine.
