5:30AM comes awfully early, but we were up and on the road by 6AM.  Our plan was to drive about 550 miles and stop at a Harvest Host for the night.  The Harvest Host was supposed to have water and room for RV's up to 45 feet long.  We called the Host around 4:15, to find out they no longer had water available to travelers.  When we did arrive we also determined that they did not have anywhere that our RV could park that was even close to level.

After a little research we found a Cracker Barrel Restaurant that allows overnight camping for RV's. (Many Cracker Barrel's, Walmart's and Cabela's allow this)  After another two and a half hours of driving we arrived at the Cracker Barrel.  While their RV parking was not level, there was plenty of room in their parking lot where we could park on level ground without any issues.

After a quick dinner we headed to bed with plans to get up again at 5:30AM for our next leg. From Madison we have about 16 hours of driving.  Our plans are one more 10 to 12 hour day, and then a short 4 to 6 hours day to get home.   

Tomorrow we are going to see how far we can make it and find a place to stop while we are driving.
