The detail is incredible. We will definitely be using it for future adventures and once we get on the road. It's fun to watch the countdown clock tick off the days as we get closer. Thank you for your comment.IL Camperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962371264607797955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319658028250189179.post-78243165164032915042013-06-11T20:26:16.861-05:002013-06-11T20:26:16.861-05:00Google Earth is what Steve uses not only to check ...Google Earth is what Steve uses not only to check campground but the route itself. <br />Just saw your countdown counter and it reminded me when we were counting down to our retirement!

I have used it to see my house, the 2 daughters houses and son's house so it makes sense to use it to see what a campground looks like. IF you make it to Bo Wood I think you will really like it. Hope you're getting close to retirement too. Thank you for your comment.

That's how we look at them to see if we think we'll fit (large 5th wheel) or if it's too "tree crowded" to get a trailer through the roads, or which way we'd be facing. It isn't perfect, but gives you an idea. We just recently "found" the COE parks around Lake Shelbyville area and are planning a couple trips that way ourselves. (We live in Central IL and aren't retired yet, either). I enjoy your blog.
