Spring Fling 2026 - Day 59: World's Largest Pitchfork

We didn't leave the Blueberry Patch Harvest Host until almost 9:00 a.m. this morning, the rest of the day was spent driving towards and then on Interstate 70 and it's many instances of construction delays.

It rained on us several times and the skies remained solidly overcast. 

Now near the town of Casey, IL at a different Harvest Host, though this one is also a farm.  It's main draw however is a restaurant where we had dinner. 

This farm is also host to the world's largest pitchfork, verified by the Guinness book of World records.   There are other world largest type objects in town but we were too tired and weary to disconnect the Honda CRV and go check them out.

This picturesque pond is part of the farm as one walks toward the animal enclosures where Martha found a hairy cow, goats and chickens. 

The restaurant's decor and food were very good.  A tad pricey perhaps, the food, but definitely tasty.

Pork Chop and Fries

The RV is running good I am happy to report. There seems to be some glitch now with it charging the house battery while the engine is running, but no problem. I just simply run the small generator for an hour or so to top off the house battery when we get to the new location. I will look into it further once I am home.  This is more impetus for the DC to DC charger option that I am thinking about. 

Tomorrow, Missouri!
