UTICA, ILLINOIS


IT WASN'T TOO  FAR  TO  ILLINOIS......WE WERE ONLY DRIVING A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES A DAY.


WE DROVE ACROSS THE ILLINOIS RIVER.



HICKORY HOLLOW RV PARK IS A PASSPORT AMERICA PARK.



IT WAS A NICE RV PARK, BUT THEY ONLY HONORED THE PASSPORT PRICE FOR TWO NIGHTS. WE HAD A NICE SPOT.




WE WERE SET UP BY 1:30. TOM FROM  PLEASURELAND RV  CALLED AND SAID DOMETIC WOULDN'T SEND THE COOLING UNIT. DARRELL  CALLED  DOMETIC  TO FIND OUT WHY THEY WOULDN'T SEND THE UNIT.  AFTER SPEAKING  WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE,  DOMETIC SAID THEY WOULD CALL TOM AT PLEASURELAND  AND GET IT SET UP. WE DROVE IN TO THE LITTLE TOWN OF UTICA AND BOUGHT SOME HOMEMADE SAUSAGE AT A LITTLE GROCERY STORE AND CAME HOME AND MADE MACARONI AND  TOMATOES WITH THE SAUSAGE. IT WAS VERY GOOD! IT WAS CLOUDY AND RAINY ALL THE NEXT DAY, DARRELL WASHED TWO LOADS OF CLOTHES IN THE MORNING. WE DROVE OVER TO PERU, ILLINOIS TO WALMART AND HAD LUNCH AT OLIVE GARDEN.


WE HAD NOT HEARD ANY THING FROM TOM ABOUT THE COOLING UNIT, DARRELL  CALLED AND LEFT HIM A MESSAGE. WE WERE STARTING TO GET WORRIED. ON THE WAY HOME WE NOTICED THIS J.C. WHITNEY AUTOMOTIVE STORE. WE HAD ORDERED MANY AN ITEM FROM THEM OVER THE YEARS. WE STOPPED TO TAKE A LOOK.


WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK, TOM CALLED AND SAID THE COOLING UNIT WAS ON IT'S WAY TO THEM AND WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 30  TO HAVE IT PUT IN. WE WERE SO HAPPY! IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE HAD A WORKING REFRIGERATOR. WE WERE LEAVING THE NEXT DAY FOR WISCONSIN DELLS, WISCONSIN.
