Friday July 17th Goldrush is Over

We needed to let the campers dry out so headed to breakfast. We ate at the Waffle House.. ask Bill about his "Most Embarrassing" moment...
We headed back to the campgrounds, folded up the campers. Jon and Rosalee headed to Tennesee to see "Elvis" and spend more time riding and enjoying the roads.
Rick and Patti are still camping with their family. Bill and Dee, and we headed towards home, taking the entire weekend to get there. We headed back up through Louisville and then took HWY 62, a wonderful winding twisty tree covered road. Amazing, after the rain, the weather is much cooler. We heard that Iowa was having a record low as well.
We stopped at a wonderful restaurant that overlooked the Ohio River... lunch with an amazing view.

My new friend!
We went through Indiana, back into western edge of Kentucky and were ready to start looking for a motel... only to find none available for miles. We found out that Kentucky has a town named Sturgis, and Little Sturgis was beginning for the weekend. Bikers were everywhere and the nearest motel available was about 100 miles away, in Benton Illinois. We finally arrived about 9:30 p.m. thankful to have a place to rest.
