Worried about the future of pipelines

Lodging Review – Enchanted Village Mobile Home Park Alton, IL
This lodging review was for our stay in a mobile home park in Alton, IL. It was my first experience staying in our fifth wheel but in a mobile home park. For a time, we had lived in a mobile home park so I knew of them and a little about what to expect as far as layout.
