Last evening Tom and I went to the Farewell Party. Had a nice time talking with others above the loud music that was being played. We had heard at the party that a couple RVs had left the infield Friday and it was felt that we should be able to get out in the morning. Unfortunately, after returning to the motorhome it began raining again. Now we weren’t sure if we would be able to get out without hanging-up.
We had an 8:45am appointment this morning to get the motorhome weighed but with empty black and gray tanks. Some RVs were leaving the area without problems. So we got up and immediately started preparing to leave without breakfast. I drove the Jeep out and then Tom followed in the motorhome without any problems. A big sigh of relief! Tom drove to a site that had a sewer outlet, backed in and dumped the tanks. And then to the parking lot where the weighing was being done. There was no wait so immediately the weighing was done and then we hooked up the car to the motorhome and were on our way.
We finally found a place to eat breakfast about an hour after being on the road at Churubusco, Indiana. Tennis’ Ramblin’ Inn was a small local diner next to a CVS and an IGA grocery store that had room for us to park the motorhome and also we were able to get some needed orange juice and bananas. The breakfast food was very good.
Continuing on we had a mix up in the directions from the GPS around Fort Wayne that we eventually worked our way out. When we finally got to Columbus, Ohio area we met up with I-70 east that we would be traveling on to Wheeling, West Virginia. Before reaching Wheeling, we stopped in Zanesville, Ohio for the night at Wolfies Campground. There have been dark clouds much of the day with occasional periods of sun. And it continues to be chilly with temperatures in the mid 40’s.
Tonight I made dinner and have been washing clothes. And we watched the Preakness to see California Chrome win. Sure hope he is successful at the Belmont to become a Triple Crown Winner.
