We took our inaugural trip to Effingham, IL, a 4 hour drive from the western suburbs of the Windy City.  After never having pulled a trailer of any sort, with any vehicle, I wasn’t sure how it would feel. Alas, I had nothing to fear.

We didn’t bring our 7 month old pupper, Dexter, on this trip as we wanted to iron out all the bugs without needing to ensure he was behaving. So we boarded him at the local Petsmart.

The drive was uneventful and the campground in Effingham was very nice. The 2 day trip ended early after one night when Petsmart called because of a medical issue… which luckily turned out to be nothing.
