Sunday, June 4th
Today we headed out about 8:30, a little sooner than the day before. We had an uneventful, yet long trip to Terre Haute KOA. The exit for the campground had been under construction last time we were here 2 years ago, but this time it was nearly complete. The bad part was that it was no longer easy to get to the entrance, and we had to go another .3 mile down the road to exit and come back to the campground. They are also using "round-abouts" at the junctions, and these tend to be more hazardous for a long rig like ours. You have to be careful of the trailing end not crossing into oncoming traffic or hitting curbs.
We made it to Terre Haute about 4:15 pm Eastern. We had a change of plans to go ahead and get our rig weighing done before the rally instead of after, so we decided to dump our tanks there at the KOA. I had to change sites to a full hookup, but that was not a problem -- except we were too long to stay hooked up in the site! OH well, we needed to get fuel as well, so we unhooked and decided to go into Terre Haute for fuel, DEF, and dinner.
Our site -- not much room for the truck.
As we were leaving the park, we saw a familiar sight... Mike and Peg were staying there, too! Originally they told us they were going to stop in Casey, but decided 40 more miles wouldn't hurt. So we meet again! (Peg was not feeling well, so we didn't visit long.)
We headed out for dinner, and after some miscommunication with the fuel card we were trying to use, (no stations near us that took it had diesel), we headed for Cheddar's. We happened to have a gift card we got a few years ago. We arrived, and the wait was going to be about 20-30 minutes. It was very crowded, due to three graduations going on that evening. We decided to sit in the bar area, and got seated and served immediately. We had Monte Cristo sandwiches, which reminded us of our childhood when we'd get them at Bennigan's. We're not near a Cheddar's anymore, so we rarely get this treat.
A Monte Cristo Sandwich!
We then got fuel elsewhere and Tony ran into WalMart for DEF and a few other things.
Once we got back to the rig, I worked, while Tony put the DEF in the truck. We head to Goshen tomorrow.
