Joilet - De Forest (Madison)

Next morning we are hitching up to leave and I notice we have a flat tyre on the RV.   When Daryl checks this out, we have tyres that are ready to go - disintegrating on the inside and we need 4 new tyres...bugger, they say it comes in threes and this is the third!

After phoning around we limb into town about 5 miles away and arrange for new tyres which is to take 1.5 hours (we have learnt this is never the case, so 3 hours later we are finally on the road again) and $550 lighter.  Oh well, it's still cheaper than home!

By the time we get back to camp and pick up the trailer & coupe, it's 2pm and we have reservations at the next camp, 3 hours up north in Wisconsin, so hit the road.  Illinios is full of toll roads up this way and we hit about 5 of them on the same freeway before getting to Wisconsin.

We arrive at 6pm in De Forest which is not far above Madison the state capital.  When we are checking in the owner comes rushing over show us pictures of 39 ford being restored at the moment and tells us of several car events - hmmmmm.  Set up camp and settle in for a bourbon and watch the sun go down.
