Kickapoo State Park, Oakwood, Illinois



Well we’re on the road but first our day started at 7:00 we had to do our third auction in five days. We arrived at the city impound lot at 8:30. The auction began at 10 and we sold 135 cars in less than 2 hours and back at home by 12:00. As always nothing goes as you plan, my plan was to be on the road by 1:00, but no I had to screw up the office scanner first. As usual fussing & cussing didn’t help, but with our group effort we got it back on line and we were on the road at 2:15.
Traveling I65 North was normal and nothing great could be seen, we liked I74 West better because as soon as we hit I74 we felt as if we were actually on vacation. We made good time and we actually had a few more hours of daylight driving time but we decided to make our planned scheduled stop at Kickapoo State Park just a few miles west of Danville Illinois. We felt as the rest was more important than travelled distance. These last 5 days really kicked our butts.
This will be our fourth visit to Kickapoo State Park and we like it, peaceful, quiet at times it makes you feel as if the locals didn’t know it was here. As usual we were welcomed by a large family group of deer, every time we come we see 15 – 20 deer and it’s early yet and we have only seen 9.
