Day 3 - continued

My wifi dropped me and thought my post was saved. No such luck. Here I am again.

After we crossed into Pennsylvania, we had fog, would you believe and then rain .. not too nice. Acres and acres of vineyards stretched along the roadway as we were in the Niagara Region. After lunch, we realized we would reach our campground a little too early so we went exploring the coast of Lake Erie, a busy summer cottage area. By the time we got back on our route, it was pouring but we finally arrived at Hickory Lakes in Ashland, Ohio, not an easy location to find, right in the middle of nowhere, but a pretty site. No wifi ... We had a thunderstorm in the middle night but all was well by morning ... lots of birds.

Day 3 and we're off again on a gray and windy day but much warmer, 13 degrees C. Driving thru a quaint little town with gorgeous old wooden homes all painted up. Leaves are getting larger and trees are in bloom. Driving thru Columbus, clusters of these white blooming trees looked just like snow trees and of course daffodils everywhere. Actually saw a couple of magnolias as well. We drove thru Indiana then to Illinois, the land of Lincoln where we are now. We discovered we had gained an hour so we were able to take it pretty easy after setting up for the night.

I have really enjoyed using the GPS, with it I can check the traffic, Ross's speed, the State speed limit, the altitude, you name it ... what a great gadget!

Night is upon us and Ross is planning tomorrow's trip.
