FOX 30 TWO'S JONI LAMB HAS MORE. ROAD TRIPS ARE POPULAR FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. RIGHT NOW, DRIVERS ARE TAKING THE HIGHWAY OUT OF HERE. DRIVERS PACKED UP THE TRAILERS AND MOBILE HOMES.

I MEAN ABOUT 25 OTHER PEOPLE, ABOUT FOUR OTHER FAMILIES ALL CAMPED TOGETHER, ABOUT 4 OR 6 OF US FAMILIES.

I GOT EVERYTHING I GOT, GOT A TENT AND POLES TO WALK ON THE RIVER BECAUSE I'M AN OLD MAN. DRIVERS STOPPED AT THE LAKE FOREST OASIS TO FUEL UP AND WALK THE DOG BEFORE SETTLING IN FOR THE LONG RIDE. WE ARE DRIVING FROM WISCONSIN UP TO HERE. IT'S OKAY. THERE ARE SEVERAL CRASHES ON THE ROAD, BUT IT'S STILL OKAY SO FAR, I HOPE. HOW LONG IS YOUR TRIP GOING TO BE?
