It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Last Long Haul.


Our Location today is at Wapakoneta KOA in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Just to clarify that after only writing a low number of our Blogs directly through Blogger and loosing few I started writing it on Microsoft Word then Copying and Pasting it to Blogger. Once the pictures are uploaded then I simply Publish it, then View the Blog to verify that it posted before returning and cleaning the document to use the following day. Since my Computer was repaired last year it has been using Libre Office Writer. That was the one that lost last evening’s post.
By the time I got to bed last night Kathy was already asleep. She naturally needs more sleep then I do especially with all the miles we’ve been racking up. This however does not stop her from feeling guilty about leaving me to close up by myself.
When 7:00 rolled around I was up and putting the Computers away. Kathy managed to be up before I started to pack away my CPAP Machine this morning. We were inside Cracker Barrel having breakfast before 8:00 and Lynet made certain we were well taken care of even making certain we had Coffees to go.
With Three Quarters of a tank of Fuel we didn’t bother trying to fill up before getting back onto I-70. Kathy commented that she had never seen so many Semi Trucks on the road as she had the last week. With a Heavy Cloud Cover and little Wind that remained the entire day it was perfect for travelling.
Traffic Backup on Southbound I-75.
We knew that Indianapolis was nearly Ninety Miles away and we didn’t want to stop in the middle of it. Along with the morning Coffee that had to go we also stopped at a Love’s to top off our Diesel while getting ourselves comfortable.
We managed to roll right through the Brickyard without a single slowdown or mishap and the next thing we knew we were entering the state of Ohio. We travelled a little while longer until just after noon we spotted a Denny’s at a Flying J. The parking area was huge allowing close to Thirty RVs to park separate from the Semis. We both enjoyed a different Chicken dinner that was just enough to satisfy our cravings.
Back on I-70 heading towards Dayton there seemed to be even more Semis on the road then before. Finally we swung around the ramp and were soon rolling north on I-75. The next Hour flew by. We were soon taking Exit 111 to the Wapakoneta KOA.
We’ve been here many times but not the last Two Years. John the owner was busy guiding someone to their Site but when he saw us and he started waving right away. After registering he brought us to our Site and talked for a while until he had to go guide another guest in. He and his Wife have done a lot of Upgrades to this Park making certain that everyone’s stay is a pleasant one.
For supper we simply had a Snack to tide us over until breakfast.
Our Supper was Leftover Pineapple on Yogurt and a Fruit Pie.
Having Full Hook Ups we both enjoyed nice showers that were far different then those we take when “Off the Grid”. We have been driving long hours lately to avoid some nasty storms in the south. Today we drove 239.5 Miles with One More Day to being back in Ontario. Guess what is waiting for us when we get there? Some Nasty Weather that hopefully will not be as bad as what the middle states are getting. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  5. I'm glad you started using Word for your document and pasting to Blogger. We were sure we'd mentioned that option to you a while ago when you were having difficulty. However, your font is still really tiny.
    Glad you had a nice travel day and arrived at the KOA. Nice to get a welcome greeting even when he is busy.
    There isn't snow here and what comes now won't last. Some cold days ahead but we take it with a grain of salt and adjust. Safe travels!

  7. I like a KOA now and then, they're usually on the pricey side but worth it for the convenience and most are very nice. Enjoy and travel safely today! I'm thinking you'll be home this afternoon.
