Day 87: Chicago Land

Woke up at 4 am to heavy rain and howling winds on Sunday. Also, Kerri was texting me that Paul & Diem are fighting over me parking the camper in their driveway. My travel karma had run out. I wrote to Peggy asking if I could come to Rock Falls earlier. She said her husband just had surgery, so that would not work. But I could park the camper at her daughter’s home in Glenview – which is really close to Kerri’s.

So, I was on the road by 1:30 pm – when the winds died down a little. Took I-55 to I-294 practically the whole way. Had the wind mostly to my back and drove slower. Even slower than normal. Cold, rainy, and windy the whole trip. Got to Bryony’s around 5 pm. Bryony gave me excellent directions. Met her husband and cute-as-a-button daughter Grace, had some tea, then got on the road to Kerri’s.

Arrived at Kerri's apartment in Evanston about 7ish. She was making soup – just what I was hoping for. We had soup and talked – then hit the sack.
