Rantoul IL & Chanute Air Force Musuem

We are spending last night and tonight at Prairie Pines Campground, a very nice city park in Rantoul Illinois.  The park is located on South Perimeter Road which is what was the south perimeter of Chanute Air Force Base before is was decommissioned in 1993.

We stayed over the extra night to go to the Chanute Air Museum.











I did not take many pictures of the inside displays, there were just far too many and we only covered about one half of the inside displays.
Carole's uncle and brother were both stationed at Chanute almost 30 years apart.

Rantoul is just about half way between Elkhart IN and our son's house, which makes it a good overnight stop for us.

New Recliners

Monday morning we drove over to Lambright Comfort Chairs to pickup our new recliners.  We had ordered them when we were in the area in August to be picked up after the Thor Diesel Rally,
We are now back at Duncan RV Repair where they are going to replace the Dometic Roof Air Conditioner/Heat Pump they installed in August.  The current unit is totally unacceptable in noise level even though it works great in cooling and heating.  Yesterday Brian, our tech, fixed 3 sticky kitchen drawers, replaced a globe in the light over our dining table, and fixed our sticky entry door,  We are now just waiting for the new Air Conditioner/Heat Pump and a replacement slide topper that self destructed in August.  The weather gas turned much cooler here in northern Indiana and we are anxious to get on the road heading south..
