So long, farewell, safe travels!

Sunday, June 21st

Unfortunately,

Today was the last official day of the Rally. They had a continental breakfast for whomever could attend, and a small devotional service. It was requested we be out of the Fairgrounds by noon, unless we had made arrangements to stay longer. We did not, so we were working to "get gone."

Tony went and grabbed the breakfast "to go", and returned. We ate, and watched many of our neighbors getting ready to go. Since we had done many of the pre-trip tasks last night, we didn't have as much to do to get ready. But we anticipated the fact that many folks want to come by and say goodbye.

We had a number of them, but did not get to say bye to many of our friends. Luckily, many are our friends on facebook and frequently visit the forum, so we still keep in touch whether we said our goodbyes in person or not.

We managed to be ready to go about 9:35, and headed out. We accidentally followed about 3 other Heartlands as they turned right out of the Fairgrounds, when we should have turned left. We ended up making a large circle, but eventually got going the way we wanted to go. We went back the same way we came, through the countryside, south to Indianapolis, then southwest to Terre Haute, Indiana.

We made decent time, probably because traffic was a little lighter, being Sunday. We got to the Terre Haute KOA about 3:30, got set up, and I did some work. Tony immediately took some clothes to get laundered. While he was waiting on the clothes, we had a good little shower.

Once he brought the clothes back, he went back to get a Pizza he ordered. Recall, this is where we had pizza on our way TO Goshen. It was very good, again!

Tomorrow, we head to Arkansas. We decided to go a little father so our last leg won't be so long. We head to Delta Ridge RV Park in Forrest City, AR.
