Our original itinerary was a bit aggressive -- driving 2000
miles and visiting 2 relatives in 3.5 days. We are thankful the relatives accommodated
our last minute request to move our arrival time, as this allowed us to do it
in a more leisurely 4 days. :-)
We had a delightful visit and delicious meal with Bill’s
cousin and his wife in Minnesota.
Both were most gracious.
We told Bill’s parents that we’d arrive at their house in Ohio by 6pm for
dinner. We felt great in the morning as
our GPS ETA read 5pm. “Cool! We’ll be there an hour early.” Well we hit traffic – bad traffic. I-74 was shut down in both directions for
hours due to a collision involving commercial-grade fireworks that needed a
bomb disposal team. Needless to say we
were over an hour late for dinner and we appreciate their holding the meal. We enjoyed yummy food and got to see Bill’s
parents and sister.
Here we are in front of our trailer in Bill’s parents’
driveway.
We recommend this campsite – very quiet plus it has free wifi. :-)
Speaking of campsite, our “campsites” for three nights were
Walmart parking lots. They worked out
great as we could pull in late and not fuss with finding a site or registering.
Plus they didn’t require backing up or leveling, and they were free. Is it a
great country or what?
Our own driveway, however, did require backing up and
leveling, but we are now home.
