A lot has transpired since last update

Well, a lot has transpired since I last updated the blog.  We left Cleveland, GA and went to the North Carolina Good Sam Samboree.  We had a really good time.  It as at Tom Johnson's in Marion, NC.  We had never been there before, so it was a new experience for us.  We really enjoyed ourselves, even though it rained most of the time we were there.  When we left Marion, NC, we headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway RV Park.  This is a nice park, with level sites.  While we were there, we visited Hendrick Motorsports museum and the shops.  If you are in the area, and a NASCAR fan, this is a must see.





From here we drove to Myrtle Beach, SC for the South Carolina Good Sam Samboree.  This appeared to be an exciting event, however, we got a call from my mom's nursing home asking us to let the family know if they wanted to see her, they should come now.  We packed up and started our drive to Belleville, Illinois area at 1:15PM in the afternoon.  We went a way that would allow us to be on interstate most of the way so we could utilize the rest areas.  We drove to Agusta, GA the first night, which is when I got the call that Mom had passed away.  The next day we drove to Clarksville, TN and the following day to Red Barn RV Park in Edwardsville, IL.  We have been here since last Saturday.  We had mom's graveside service yesterday, and we will be headed south on Saturday.
We were also informed that this park we close for good on 1 November.  This is quite a shame as, although it is a small park, it is really quite nice.  I'm not sure where we'll stay should we get back to this area. 

Well, that's about it.  You are all up to date.  Y'all travel safe, and I'll type more later.
