We’re staying about 1.5 hours west of Chicago this week, in a small town called Marengo, IL.  Even this far out there are a lot of subdivisions going up and large malls with Lowes, Walmarts and all the smaller shops that pop up in suburbia.

But, the RV park we’re staying in, Lehman’s Lakeside RV Resort, is quite rural.  There’s a freeway just past the cornfield in the photo, but from our site you can barely hear it.  As we drive to and from this place we see horses, cattle, lots of cornfields and old houses with huge barns and silos.  Just a few miles away is suburbia which is nice for shopping etc., but we can come home and watch the corn grow!

Here’s a picture:
