Day 102- Tuesday, 9/29/09, ON THE ROAD

The trees and fields are really showing their Fall colors now. We are all bundled up. Corinne's hands are so cold that her rings are falling off.

Wisconsin county roads are named with letters, A through Z, then AA through ZZ. "Gina" the GPS says "Double East" for "EE".

We stop for lunch at The Abby Cafe' in Abbottsville, WI, Wisconsin's First City. It is a very cute restaurant with unusual sandwiches and meals served on Fiesta Ware. The owner has quite a collection of Fiesta Ware on display.

Corinne has an Apple/Cheddar/Bacon sandwich and we have the best coleslaw we've had in three months. They have a Rachel sandwhich, which is like a Reuben made with turkey instead of corned beef. Their sauerkraut is sweet and has grated carrots in it.

We are supposed to stay at the Outagamie Country Fairgrounds, which has a campground with water and electricity. When we arrive, the water has been shut off, and there is noone there to talk to.

Bob finds us another campground in DePere, WI, about a half hour away, so we head there and check in. They have no sewer, so we will have to dump our grey and black water tanks when we leave, but they have water and electricity. They also have fancy metal fire rings, with cutouts of deer at the top.

In the evening we connect with Beth, Kezi and Nate in their home in Seymour, WI. They have two cats and two birds, along with their old dog Bobo. They have already eaten dinner when we arrive, so we bring them Dairy Queen treats. Corinne has a ChocoCherry Blizzard for dinner, and Bob has a Banana Split.
