Sycamore, IL - Day 2 Jul 25, 2010

Remember I told you we were really out in the road? Look how far!!! We were looking directly from the cross road.

Vicki and Theresa...this is for you!! Just the wrong color.
I'm thinkin' that this is the home of the campground owner. I tried to get the back but the sun was shining directly at me. Will try tomorrow.

We decided to take a jaunt around the lake. We were looking back at the campsites from about 1/4 of the way around.

Isn't this the way to spend a peaceful Sunday morning?

Halfway around.

Had to stop to get gas before our trip to Great Lakes Naval Training Center. When we pulled out of the station, this is what we saw.

We thought it was only going to be about 60 or so miles. HA--round trip was 167 miles. Beautiful country though. Look at this high class Walmart. That's only 2/3 of the building.

Out in the middle of nowhere we found Chicago's only Camping World. Did a U-turn and went to the "Candy Store". Thanks, Vic, for buying our new oval bucket and griddle for the new grill. This really was not an RV Sales office, they had moved the supplies over here last week.

There is an absence of pictures. I wasn't suppose to take any at all. George was really happy about seeing all the old buildings and stuff, 50 years after he was here.

This is the parade grounds. Well, they're in front of this building.

That little bit of blue between the trees is Lake Michigan.
Wish I'd been more on the ball, this was a HUGE railroad yard.


We were coming back into Sycamore and they must have had an old car show. Or else people here drive old cars.

Interesting Public Library.

This should have been on yesterday's, but I forgot to take them then.

Along the drive to the office.


The camper in front of us must have gone but it sure made for a pretty view.

George and I went out for a walk. This is the swimming area, across the lake.

There are beautiful flowers all over the park.

Thanks for the memories and wonderful day.

Wow! 50 years later, George gets to visit the Great Lakes Naval Station. That is awesome. Bet he saw lots and lots of changes, huh?
