We're are pulling out in 5 minutes with the camper for the 5.5 hour drive to Du Quoin. Should get there in time to see the mule show over at the horse pavillion. Hopefully our favorite spot over in the non-hook-up camping area is vacant, but even if it isn't there's a lotta' room for an alternative spot. Gonna' go over to Rend Lake tomorrow and do some fishin' and boatin' and have a couple of beers, not necessarily in that order.

We look forward to this trip more every year. Our first year there was 1994 and I have no idea why we never went before that but we surely should have.

Looks like we could get some rain on Thursday into Friday but the weekend looks great. Got tickets for a couple of the grandstand shows as well so it should be a great time.

All of you who make the trip to Du Quoin be safe and have a great time!!!
