Pam and I are staying the night at Fern Lake Campground and RV Park in Paducah, Kentucky. Nice site on the bank of a lake. We are camped under a huge oak tree.
We went to the old downtown where they have an impressive series of murals on the flood wall along the Illinois River. This river town needs more than 1 evening to discover all its riches.

Pam and I spent the day in Springfield, IL doing all things Lincoln and staying 2 nights at Double J RV Park. We started our day at the Hen House. I nice country diner stat serves great breakfast.
We visited the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library. The musem is great. It takes you through his whole life, not just his presidency. Very informative and well executed. We spent over 2 hours there.
The Museum complex includes Springfield Union Station
We toured the Lincoln Family Home which is a National Park Service. They have bought all of the surrounding homes that existed when Lincoln lived there.
Finally, we visited Lincon’s Tomb where he and his family were laid to rest (except for his oldest son who is in Arlington).

So, we had a fun week at Palm Creek. Pam and I golfed 18 holes on Wednesday (walking only) and had a great time. Lots of relaxing at the pool and hot tub and long walks around the resort. The weather has been great. Low 40’s over night, but then sunshine and 70’s the rest of day.
We decided to change our plans and stay here for another 6 weeks and focus on exercise and healthy eating ; staying until the end of March.
On Friday, we played another 9 holes (only $10/person after 4:30) and had a great time. Pam got a new “Sunday” golf bag. Looking sharp. We are signed up for Pickleball lessons next week, and Pam is doing Yoga twice a week.
We had to move sites to #398. An even bigger site and better location. It is on a curve, so we have a large wedge shaped lot. We even have an orange tree at the back of the lot.

We arrived at Palms Creek RV and Golf Resort on Friday. We are here for a week.
It is a huge full service 55+ resort on the more expensive side ($500 for a week). But it has a nice 18 hole executive par 3 golf course. 32 Pickleball courts; tennis courts. 4 heated pools with hot tubs. All very nice. Like last week, they have lots of activities and clubs to keep the retired people active.
We are staying in Lot 52 which is on the east wall; very quiet. All lots are large (40′ x 50′).
