On The Road Again...

We left Yellowstone to start our return to Pa. Instead of going through the park again we went north to pick up route 90 and traveled through the southern portion of Montana. Then we went south on 25 through the eastern half of Wyoming. We ran into some strong winds and storms when we neared Cheyenne Wyoming so we pulled into a Sam's Club next to a WalMart to stay overnight. This was the sunset after the storm passed...


There were 11 RVs parked between Sam's and WalMart. The police came and knocked on all our doors asking us to leave. So we caravaned to the nearest truck stop, to spend the night. That was the first time in 2 years of traveling that we were ever asked to move. 
We traveled through Nebraska,  Iowa and into Illinois on 80 then headed south on 74 into Indiana to a Thousand Trails Park called Horseshoe Lakes. We are staying here for a few days to meet up with our friends Millie and Ray Surrette, touch base with John's nephew David, do laundry, and rest up for the next leg of the journey.
We drove 80 miles one way into the outskirts of Indy to spend a day with Dave, Debbie, Zach and Kaitlyn Pietch, the son and family of John's sister Bonnie. Zach just graduated from High School.


Millie and Ray told us about a Feline Rescue place nearby so we took a short drive to check it out. It's a non-profit organization that rescues and maintains these beautiful animals. They have over 200 cats from many different circumstances. Here are a few pictures.
