Our Location today is the K.O.A in
Wapakoneta, Ohio, U.S.A.
After such
a long travel day yesterday it felt great just to lay in bed and relax this
morning. The clock was already past 8:00 when my back started bothering me forcing
me to give up the cozy warmth of the winter bedsheets. The temp wasn’t that
cold but the inside of the trailer felt like an Icebox so I immediately
turned the Electric Fireplace on to warm things up for Kathy. Even as
careful as I was she said she heard that distinct sound of the Coffee Mug
touching the kitchen countertop. (I hardly heard it.)

Not being
in any rush today we spent the better part of the morning getting caught up
with our On-line reading. We even had a second cup of Coffee/Tea
to help us relax. The only extra chore we did this morning was gathering the
Recycle and Trash that I would later dispose of after lunch. For
lunch Kathy simply made us each a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup that we
both enjoyed.

After
lunch Kathy did some Bookkeeping while I got rid of the Trash and
Recycle before returning to reorganize the Basement. When we had the
Blowout on Monday I found out that I had buried some of the important tools
that should have been right by the basement door openings. Once I had finished
changing the tire I just packed everything away in a not too orderly fashion so
we could get off the shoulder of the Highway. We are still Very Grateful
to the Missouri Highway Maintenance Crew that day for helping to
wave the traffic over to the passing lane.
Once the Basement
and the back of the truck were organized the way they should have been I checked
our Propane Tanks. One was starting to feel a bit light even though it
is just being used for cooking on the stove and running the Fridge when
traveling. In Ontario you pay by the
size of the container whether it is empty or only needs topping off. I decided to have it topped off here since you
only pay for what you use here in the US.
When I waved to John and pointed to the Tank he immediately came over with
his Golf Cart and brought it over to refill. By the time that I walked
over to settle the bill he drove both myself and the Tank back to the
trailer.
This
morning there were only ten RVs left after everyone that was leaving hit the
road. In last night’s Blog, I wrote that there were only Fifty Sites
at this park. When I went to drop off the trash I saw it was nearly a Hundred
Sites and only ten were left empty for the night. My apologies for the
mistake.
I phoned Leisure Trailer Sales
in Lakeshore, Ontario so
they would know we would be stopping by sometime tomorrow afternoon so they
could schedule the work that needs to be done on our RV. I also started
working on a Spreadsheet List in the later part of the afternoon while
Kathy did some reading.

It was
past 5:00 when we decided to go out for supper as a Last Hurrah for this
trip. Driving to the other side of I-75 we
spotted a Bob Evans. It’s been over
seven months since we ate at a location in Michigan
and we enjoy their food so that was where we went. Kathy enjoyed their Turkey
and Dressing while I enjoyed their Country Style Steak. Both
meals were tasty, well presented, reasonably priced and the service was great.

After leaving
Bob Evans
we stopped at the Gas Station and topped off our Diesel before heading
back Home
at Wapakoneta K.O.A. When we
had left for supper there might have been thirty RVs in the Park. When we returned, there might have been
twenty sites remaining. It is a clean well cared for park that caters to its
customer’s needs.
I prepped
the truck for towing and have it backed up just shy of being hooked up. We’ll
be back in Ontario tomorrow but we
still have way too much happening that is keeping us busy. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

You've given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a dog.
Hope your arrival in Canada will be smooth and travel uneventful. The weather could be warmer to welcome you home but I'm sure you are glad to be back.
