The Best and the Worst

It has the best of roads, it has the worst of roads (repeat - over and over).  Alex, the question is:  What is Interstate 80? In our travels since 2007, we continue to find more and more of this.  The country's highways are in really bad shape.  We encounter construction area after construction area, but only rarely do we have the opportunity to enjoy the results.  Then we went from bad to worse when we needed to travel North on Indiana highway 49.  If this is not the most battered and worn-out surface we have ever driven on, it has got to be a close second.

Tonight we are staying at the Sand Creek Campground near Chesterton, IN.  I don't usually post such statements, but I suggest you avoid this place unless, like us, you are very low on options.  For those of you who know Deb really well, you will understand when I say that she is (predictably) not thrilled.

Not to be entirely negative for today's entry, we were pleased to note that the RV and boat manufacturing industries seem to have recovered quite nicely since our last visit to Indiana in 2009.  Have no doubt, roads and RV park aside, we continue to enjoy our travels.
