Home sweet home!

Finally the real Journey has started! After a good attempt of fitting in with the Chicago hipster community, by traveling by Uber-taxi to the RV rental office (keywords: Creditcard fail, back to old fashion and expensive taxi), i finally got my beloved home away from home!
I instantly realized that I must have not been drinking enough fluids today, because i did not literally piss my pants when i first saw this Tank of a vehicle. But hey, if there is a good way to die, or get somebody else really dead, this would be it! So i got in my beloved little tank, and drove off into the sunset.... not really... first get primary supplies right across the street; Basically water and beer, and some other stuff, but cannot remember ;-)
It turns out that driving this little tank is both difficult and easy at the same time. Going straight forward seems easy, until you have 20 km/h gust winds trying to push you off the road. Combine this with no sense of road placement at all, and you have made yourself a cocktail of death.
Fortunately my mind somehow managed to calibrate itself to the new road conditions and.... here i am on my first campsite in a town called: i don’t have clue where i am, and its in the wrong direction ( if there is a right direction in life, but lets not get philosophical just yet... )
So tomorrow, i will get some gas in the tank, get some pots and pans so i can make coffee in the morning and see where this journey takes me!
Hopefully somewhere warm, because this 1 degree cold and snow was not mentioned in the brochure!

See you later!
