No tourist stop today 😖😖


June 4 - Today we were both up at a good hour!  We didn’t rush about but left by 9.  Our first mistake of the day was exiting the Walmart lot the way we came it.  It didn’t have a light and it was right turn only and we needed to go left!!  Luckily at the end of the lot was a light on the highway going into a shopping center and it was pretty empty so I turned around in the lot and got back on the highway in the right direction!  That’s the things that really wake me up and keeps me going!!

Not much but travel today.  We fueled up once and filled the DEF as well.   It took 3 gas cans to do so.  Unlike the diesel pumps being on both sides of the lanes, DEF is only on the left and our DEF tank is on the right.  Oh well, takes a bit longer but at least it was a slow time at the Flying J. 

We did have a couple of snafu’s today.  One, I got off the road and had to get back on and one, Bill sent me off at the wrong light.  As long as I have an empty parking lot, I’m good to go.

We had planned to visit Hopewell Culture Center in Chillicothe, Ohio once we got to the campground but since we had not had lunch by 2 we opted to just chill, relax and start there tomorrow.  They had RV parking at 3 of the 4 sites.  I made this reservation at the height of the virus and the lady said she couldn’t put me in the main campground due to the state lock down.  She said they had 4 new spaces near the playground totally away from the park that were pull thru with water and electric.  She took a credit card so we would not have any interaction when we arrived.  Well, it was a back in, so we had to unhook and it was electric only and we were low on water! 

We made the best choice to go there first since it started raining about 30 minutes after we arrived.  We had 3 good showers so it worked out well.   We were on water ration but managed ok.

We both read a lot and Bill did some mapping for tomorrow.  We head to Springfield, OH to see the Wescott House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, my favorite architect.  We do not expect it to be open as they are not answering the phone but I’m hoping to at least see it from the outside and get some pictures.

Bill took some photos today as we drove so it will be interesting to see what he got.
