Because of the Cold Damp Weather in our
area after our son dropped us off at the
Amherstburg Walmart we were in bed by 9:30. With the
Temperature continuing to dip below the Freezing Mark we
didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Then to top it off we
had to set our clocks back this morning as North
America ended Daylight Savings Time for another
Five Months.
With our being dressed and ready to hit the
road by 8:00 EST and no place nearby to eat breakfast we drove
down the road to park in the No Frills
parking lot. From there it was a short walk to McDonald’s
for a Breakfast Wrap and Coffee. We brought
my Computer along so that we could check a few things
including the weather in the direction we were heading in.
Kathy checked her E-Mail and Messenger
Account while I walked back to the truck to reorganize the
backseat. Because of the extra appointments we needed to take care
of the last few days not everything got put where it belonged. Since
we had gained the hour today I managed to get it all the way it
should have been. After going back to Mickey
D’s we refilled our Coffee Cups before walking
back to the Truck.
When we arrived at the Ambassador
Bridge we just sat for about Five Minutes before
traffic could go anywhere. When everyone started moving we were
surprised to see Construction Equipment moving barriers around
on this Sunday morning.
The line of traffic ahead of us in the RV
Lane only took Ten Minutes to process. As per usual the
Immigration Officer had to look inside our Trailer for
Illegal Immigrants. He had a hard time understanding why we
would rather go sit in the Desert in Arizona
rather then going to Florida.
(Been There, Done That!)
Our first stop was the Myer’s
in Belleville Michigan to
purchase Fruits, Vegetables, Meats and Cheese
to replace everything we could not bring from Ontario.
We also picked up a Ham and Cheese Sandwich from their Deli
that we shared for lunch.
We were soon back on I-94
heading west but we weren’t getting any warmer and
actually had to adjust the heat in the Truck. Finally taking
Exit 108 we were soon southbound
on I-69 heading towards Fort Wayne,
Indiana.
After a quick stop at a Pilot
Travel Center for some fuel we pushed on. We finally left
the Rain behind and could see the outside temperature reaching
57 F (14 C). Something we haven’t seen in weeks.
As the Sun
was starting to set we pulled into the Cracker
Barrel in Gas
City, Indiana.
After 271.2 Miles
for today we had a lite supper and with permission are safely tucked
in for the night. With Temperatures
feeling staying in the Mid-Forties
overnight we’ll be comfortable. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and
Enjoy!
It’s about time.

getting
a ride to the liquor store.
Welcome back to the US! Good to hear you have day 1 under your belt. Enjoy your journey. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteWe go to the car races on the dirt race track in Gas City. James Dean was from near there.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't want to go to FL. this year, still having red tide problems my friend live there and said it is awful.
ReplyDeleteBut you sure made good miles today. Stay safe
I guess 57° feels good to you. We are having 80° for the next week here on the gulf coast of Florida, and it feels good.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what your route will be, but keep a close eye on that weather. We, too, have been to Florida and done that never to do again. Give me the desert any day. I try to avoid staying at a Cracker Barrel because that's usually more expensive for us than staying in a campground. lol Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteEverybody's on the road again!!! Welcome back to the U.S.
