Just about ten miles from our destination someone flagged us and told us something about the bikes that were on the back of the 5th wheel. We took the nearby exit only to learn that the bikes were no longer on the rear bumper but in the middle of I 57. We unhooked the 5th wheel in a KFC parking lot and headed south again. It was about 100 in the shade. We were sure hoping there would not be a four car pileup with our bikes underneath, but someone had kindly dragged them to the side of the road. I volunteered to document the event while Leon untangled the bikes, still locked onto the rack. And the bike rack was still attached to the trailer hitch receiver with the no longer welded plate attached! They now ride where we used to eat breakfast.
We eventually found our way to South Sandusky campground on Rend Lake near Benton, Illinois.
This is a nice Corps of Engineers Campground with plenty of camping spots. There were lots of folks there, even in this heat, many of whom were playing in the lake. Thank goodness we didn't have a boat attached to the rear bumper of the 5th wheel as we often see!!!
