Day 2: (Wednesday 9/10/25), So last night StarLink and YouTube TV worked exactly like I had hope.  Was able to watch live network TV while uploading photos.  Yeah! 

Today was our second travel day.  We went from outside Des Moines to Mitchell, SD.  We are setup in R&R Campground.  Didn’t even unhook the truck, walked across the highway to a truck stop for dinner.  Sorry no photos were captured today.  Up early in the morning to hit Custer SD tomorrow afternoon, for our first 4 day location.

Day 1: (Tuesday 9/9/25) I heard head WEST young man, and the mountains are calling!  Today is a travel day.

Normal IL, to Jester Park Campground outside of Des Moines, IA.  Uneventful, just the way I want all travel days to go.

Stopped at the “World’s Largest Truck” stop on I80 West in Iowa.  Another travel day tomorrow before the real adventure begins.  We stopped at Jester Park Campground. It was cute and super clean with power only.  But hey, $25 a night for AC, Better than a Walmart of Cracker Barrel with no power since we don’t have a generator yet.

Blast Off!

Pretty cool tire pressure sensors came with the new camper.  Tells each tire temp and pressure.  Hopefully catch a problem before it becomes a problem.

Dog driving the semi next to our rig in the parking lot.  I found it funny.

Campground for night one.

Our campsite, no rug, no sign, no lights,, just a crash and burn to sleep.
