Driving from Carlock to Paducah

We got up at our usual time of 8:00 and after our morning coffee and breakfast, we broke camp. The trees here are turning a glorious gold color.

We left Kamp Komfort about 9:15 and I snapped a photo of the office before we left the campground.

We headed back down the road to connect with I-74 South and saw these Canadian geese feeding alongside a pond.

We stopped at a rest area near Farmer City and saw this Adams Leaning Wheel Grader.

We connected with I-57 at Champaign and drove south until we stopped at a rest area near Green Creek to fix lunch at noon.

Around 2:00 we stopped at a Travel America station at Exit 95 on I-57 to get gas in the RV (54.479 gal @ $3.359 gal).

We drove another 50 miles before we exited I-57 at Exit 44 to get on to I-24 south. We passed by the exit to Metropolis and saw this sign advertising the giant Superman statue in Metropolis. We always seem to be in a hurry when we go by here or it's too late in the day to stop, but Metropolis is on our list of places to visit.

We crossed the Ohio River and entered Kentucky at 3:45.

We arrived here at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Paducah around 4:00 after driving 299 miles today. After we got the RV parked I went in to do some shopping at the Supercenter.
