Day 37, Hixton, Wisconsin








We woke to a rainy day. This next leg was 280 miles . Driving an RV in rain is a little stressful . It has been said that a fully loaded RV doing 65 MPH takes a football field to a full stop. Whether true or not, the people who in heavy traffic take up the gap we leave for sudden braking make driving in this environment challenging, Add driving rain and its really fun.
Together with the rain and traffic, Dirk and Colleen had another hurdle. Their RV was sinking. Well, if it was a boat it would have. Some investigation at the camp site revealed that a water connection had split and was flooding the RV floor. But never fear. Our intrepid team was up to it . A little specialized tape we just happened to have and Dirk's ingenuity did the job.
However, the continuing quest for a better Wee-Fee world continued as Dirk produced his Wi-Fi meter and condemned the signal unfit for human consumption. They gave us a new site.
