For day 1 of the trip our focus was on getting some distance between us and home, however we won't ever cover as many miles as a lot of folks. I plotted the entire trip using google maps and spent a lot of time looking at paper maps for each state. My wife cashed in on our AAA membership and gave me a huge box of maps, tour books, and camp books covering every state we might touch during the trip. Over the course of several months I revised an itinerary that ended up with no single day's drive being over 6 and a half hours according to google and this put us just over the Ohio border into Indiana on the first night. The days travel went extremely well with only a half hour of torrential rain just before we got to the campground but no issues with the trailer. Pokagon State Park looked to be a pretty nice place, but in honesty we pretty much just slept and ate there. It was a rainy Sunday night and campground was empty, the tall trees in the wooded sites made the Shasta look pretty small. Three weeks later on the return trip we would discover that Pokagon is more popular than this first impression made it seem.
