In this video, we’ll take you along on our journey, which included a bit of RV drama—our travel trailer’s leaf spring broke somewhere in Indiana! Luckily, we found the most helpful mobile RV repairman to get us back on the road. 🛠️

Before reaching the dunes, we spent a few days exploring Chicago, parking conveniently at the Chicago Convention Center's Truck Marshaling Lot. 🚐 Not glamorous, but perfect for our needs!

At the park, we tackled the famous Three Dunes Challenge 🏞️, strolled along pristine beaches, and explored wetlands teeming with life. We also had an unexpected run-in with a determined robin, who repeatedly tried building a nest on our truck tire! 🐦
