The night was quiet and peaceful. The issue with staying at a park with
seasonals (people who live there pretty much permanently or at least for the
season) is that they get up early to go to work. So from around 6am and even a bit before,
their headlights seek out our windows and their truck engines grumble as they
drive past.
Today we are off towards Chicago – yay!
We cross the state line into Illinois and at the same time
we change time zones, today we have an extra hour to enjoy : ) The road signs to Michigan City confuse us, Michigan
City is not in Michigan – it is in Indiana so there you go!
They must need a lot of stuff in Chicago, trucks make up the most traffic heading in! |
We arrive uneventfully around 11.30 and check in the
Hollywood Casino RV Park for three nights. We have 50 amp and water, good TV, good cell and intermittent free WIFI. The laundry is out of action but we can use
the one in the hotel if we wish. As well as the complimentary breakfast we are
offered a discount card for some free gambling - as long as you invest $10 up front
they give you $10 ore to gamble, and discounts for the three eating options at
the Casino. There are about a dozen
sites being used when we arrive at the RV Park but by 6pm the place is chocca. A whole gaggle of French campers in a range
of camping equipment have inundated the CG.
Rather full RV Park at Hollywood Casino, Joliet IL |
Had to go check out the casino!! |
