Day 1: Terre Haute, IN KOA

Dec 302009

And it begins: Believe it or not, I was able to leave home at 7am. Even surprised myself as I didn't get to bed until 1am and didn't get to sleep until about 3am. The roads were nice a dry and not very much traffic. I made it to Terre Haute about 1pm and decided to stop at the KOA for the night. I could have driven a couple more hours but figured that it would be best to try and get a decent nights rest before the next leg.

The Terre Haute KOA is a bit expensive ($40) but it is one of the few campgrounds open this far north. Since it's 30 deg. outside not much is usable at the campground but it does look like it would be a nice place to stay in the summer.

Tailgating with your RV

RVs are not just for camping!

We all enjoy getting out in the wild or heading out to destinations unknown. But you can enjoy using your RV in other ways! My family's big collage football fans and try to attend a game or two every year. I was born and raised in South Bend, IN so I'm a Notre Dame fan, my step-daughter graduated and works at Michigan State so a tailgate at a ND/MSU game was only natural.

The setup at ND is ideal for tailgating (see my photos). They have a huge field they open up to RVs which gives you a lot of room to park, cook out, play a few games or just sit back and enjoy the beverages. The weather was a perfect sunny 60 deg for this September game. We arrived about 10am for the 3pm kickoff, broke out the grill for the awesome bacon cheeseburgers and sat back to enjoy the cool adult beverages. Why bring your RV to tailgate? Not only do you have all of your supplies right at hand, but you have a potty at your disposal anytime you need it!
