Our Location:
Walmart, Perrysburg, Ohio
After a good nights sleep we had the wheels rolling at 7:45 am. Our original destination was changed almost as soon as the wheels were moving and as we clipped along we also changed our second destination, this was our third choice.

| Sorry, dirty windshield, Crescent City, Water Tower. We can’t keep it clean. |
The roads overall were good, a few rough patches but not bad. We started by going back 15 miles to I-57 N rather than take state or county roads. We hooked up with US-24 East, which is only 2 lanes in Illinois. We crossed into Indiana and a little later at 9:43 CDT we moved into EDT meaning we are now back with our home province timewise. US-24 becomes a divided highway at some point in Indiana but due to a flooding detour, I can’t tell you where. We were routed probably 45-60 minutes from our original route. Eventually we managed to get back to US-24 East and continue along. Due to a ramp closer our journey to this Walmart was very adventurous and colourful. ‘Nough said. We arrived here around 3pm EDT.
We travelled approximately 317 miles/510 km, we travelled approximately 8 hours, we used about 27 gallons/102 litres, and I filled up for $3.99 pg. I think that works out to around 12mpg. I’m happy with that.
Good weather but a bit windy, side, tail and head. Wind is pretty cool, we need a sweater and we have been wearing long pants for about 4 or 5 days now. Spring is hinting but not quite here yet, a few more days. I think the high temp was 62F/17C, not bad for April 13.
Until next time…..
Take care, stay safe,

Motoring along. Detours and slow downs in our long journeys are expected, it is rare not to encounter some.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it through and
we, all Ontariens, are on the same time now. Have a good night.
True about detours, and slow downs, it is a fact of travel.
DeleteIt is nice to be back on our own time .
Thanks.

Looks like you'll be back in Canada soon enough. Hit the Duty-Free at the Ambassador Bridge to save on fuel, it's been going up here.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and Enjoy the Sun.
It's about time.
Sunday is our projected day to arrive back in Ontario.
DeleteWe are already full and I’ve been hearing about the fuel prices all winter, thanks, Dad keeps me up to date .

Continued Safe Travels!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff.

Seems to me we hit a lot of back roads also, since everything "freeway" was a toll road. I like those back roads ... much more relaxed driving. May your safe travels continue.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the scenery but not all of the stop and go of the little towns. Some of them were very interesting and we would probably stop for a quick peek at a few of them.
