9/28/25 – Montrose City Park, Montrose, SD
Just an overnighter.
9/29/25 – Grundy County Lake RV Park, Dike, IA
Here we met with our friends Lisa and Keith who live in Cedar Falls. It is always fun to hang out with them. We went out for dinner a couple of times, Maria and Lisa went to a knitting group one afternoon. This campground is pretty basic with Water and Electricity at the site, but has a little lake with a nice walkway and clean showers and restrooms.
10/4/25 – Mississippi River Park, – Canton, MO
This campground was right at the Mississippi River, so we could watch some barges and small fishing boats. Other than that there is really nothing else to do around this area.
10/6/25 – Gun Creek Campground, Whittington, IL
A nice campground at a lake. Quiet, some hiking trails. Nice place to relax.
10/10/25 – John J. Audubon State Park, Henderson, KY
Very nice state park with a nice museum, Nature Center and lots of shorter hiking trails. The campground was on the smaller side with Water and Electricity at the site. One big drawback was the traffic noise from US 41 right next to the campground.
10/14/25 – Diamond Caverns RV & Golf Resort
This is a Thousand Trails campground and also on the smaller side. We got a back-in site with FHU, however it was on the narrow side, so the neighbors were very close. This campground is close to the Mammoth Cavern which were closed due to the Government shutdown. However, we visited Diamond Caverns across the street and did a tour. The cave is a wet cave, so no Bats. Our tour guide pointed out some cave crickets which look more like oversized Daddy-Long-neck spiders. The cave formations were fantastic with Stalactites, Stalagmites, Cave Popcorn and Cave Bacon.
10/20/25 – Mountain Glen RV Park & Campground
Until next update,
Maria and Bernhard
