IN. we have finally escaped. While not yet as far north as we\u2019re headed, 6\/6\/2018 finds us \u00a0just south of Rockford IL in Blackhawk Valley CG.<\/p>\n<p>We scored a sweet spot here next to a nice shade tree. The spots are larger AND we have grass PLUS a fire ring. Over the phone we reserved 2 nights, I needed a brake from driving 2 days in a row, around 400 miles of over the 2 days.<\/p>\n<p>We \u00a0liked the spot and in looking at the weather, rain in the forecast for our planned departure date, we decided to extend our stay for 5 nights total, turns out we were sitting in the only spot not reserved for the weekend. This CG is full of mostly seasonal campers, they only have a handful of transient spots for people like us.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
