Live In Harmony

living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com

Harmony, MN that is!  A small town with a city park offering both primitive and electric sites.  We chose no hookups.  The weather is still not very good although it was sunny.  Lots to report on but we are sitting outside the closed library and the bugs are driving me nuts.

We had a fun day, saw lots of Amish and visited a town on the Iowa border, Cresco where a Nobel Prize winner was born and raised and the first flight attendant in the world comes from this town too.  Both visitor's centers were very helpful and both had wifi.  Too bad we didn't connect earlier.

Lots of pics as we visited three towns today.  We are planning on Chicago for this weekend.  I found a place next to the convention center called the McCormick Place Marshalling Yard, it is used for the convention center events where the semis and tour buses park.   It is secure 24/7 with a guard patrolling and is in the center of Chicago right along the lake.  Cost is $30 a night and it is boondocking only but taking into account parking fees, rv parks that are 30 to 50 miles away, it is a good deal.

If anyone has been there or has any info let us know.  We will be visiting friends but if you know Chicago central, there aren't big home lots with long driveways.   We have access to public transit and we should be able to move around easily.

More tomorrow as we will be in Madison, WI at a Home Depot.

  1. We did five days touring Chicago. If you go back to our archives for early May 2012 you can see what we did if you want an idea.

  3. I was wondering where you were going to stay in Chicago. Good for you for finding this place. The weather is not great in most places. Just make the most of each day as you can. Love that you are posting daily.
