We are in Ohio…..

 

Our Location:

Walmart, Napoleon, Ohio

The weather today was fabulous! Shorts will be a must tomorrow.  

Yesterday was a busy day, shopping, money exchange, visiting Bradey and the boys before heading back to the park. It was a long day.

This morning we started our day at Olympia RV in Flamborough, Ontario. After breakfast we packed everything up, pulled in the slides, put away the power cord had everything ready to travel. We locked the door, leaving the Igloo behind as we headed off to pick up daughter Courtney at the Go Station. The three of us enjoyed lunch near by while catching up. It was a quick visit but we all had fun. We dropped her back at the Go Station just before 1 pm, headed back to the park, hooked up and let the wheels roll. We made the decision to cross into the US instead of our original plan to stay at the onRoute in Tilbury.

The wait at the border was about 20 minutes, a few questions, a quick peek and we were off. The rough roads were not fun but we didn’t have any workers present and folks were flying, we rolled along about 65mph and around 8 pm we pulled into this lot. Thumbs up to stay the night from the Customer Service lady, I called Dad and Sister before having something to eat. 

Tomorrow we will do some shopping before we head out. We are hoping to cross into Central Time and spend the night at a great rest area we visited last spring on the way home. However that’s for tomorrow’s blog. 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time……

Take care, stay safe,

Deb

And we’re off……..

We woke in the dark, finished a few last minute things, hooked up and had the wheels rolling at 7:51 AM. Heavy dew turned to fog as the sun started the day, not thick but very obvious. A 5 minute stop at brother Rick’s house (dad, and others there) hugs, see you laters, left the Cabin keys behind and at 8:03 am we pulled out.

It was a very good day, our only issue was a fuse before we even left our spot this morning. Too far on the first day though, 8 - 4, with only a few stops. However we arrived here safely and will be here a couple of days. 

Super moon…..

Made some super fog……

Which the sun tirelessly burned off…

It did take a while though…..

Just an interesting piece of information, we pulled out at 8:03 but didn't  actually begin heading south until 10:17 am. We must travel north and east for a couple of hours before we begin actually going south. We are thinking of taking the ferry next year, but we shall see.

Pulling out…

In the Espanola hills…

Close to Sudbury, about 25 minutes before we actually head south.

The weather is sunny and fabulously warm here, 70 F/21 C. We are talking about shorts.  We can hardly wait! 

Of course I called Dad when we were settled.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time…….

Take care, stay safe,

Deb

Slight delay…..

Summer spot near South Baymouth, Ontario

It’s been very frosty the last couple of mornings but no white stuff falling from the sky, thank you very much! The next number of days will be much warmer than the last few. We like that.

Very frosty…

A very pretty sky on my way home.

Today was to be “wheels up” but instead we have changed that to Saturday morning. Our plan to take the ferry didn’t work out either so back to the original plan, just a few days later. The new date has us slipping across the border sometime Tuesday if all goes well. Friday will be our ‘finish’ day, those last few things that will take an hour or two. We all know that something distracts us and that 10 minute job becomes 40 minutes without any trouble. So I added second hour just to be sure!

Somehow I have never noticed those two trees before.

I just like this photo.

We are up in those trees. The leaves are hanging on.

Some colour out there but not much yet.

It is a very nice view, just not the view from our windows.

My next post will probably be from the road, so until then…

Take care, stay safe,

Deb

The summer spot will soon be empty….

It is hard to believe that our time left here is in the single digits now. The weather has been fabulous this fall but alas the cooler air is rushing in as the fall winds start blowing. We can hear them overhead in the branches and the leaves shaking on the trees. We are well protected here from most direct winds but at some point they will shift and we will be feeling them.

The new house, the fog, and the view.

Mornings are heavy with dew, sometimes enough to drip.

Life is ending for much of the vegetation now.

I have been slowly taking down and putting away the things that get scattered around for the summer. The area around the cabin is collecting the “stuff” that requires inside storage for the winter and since we are still using the cabin, it will all be stored on our last full day here which we think will be Tuesday.We shall see how things go. The plan is feet up, wheels rolling Wednesday morning, however the best laid plans…..

A walk around the farm on a dewy morning.

The woodpeckers keep attacking the Sugar Shack.
Brother Rick’s house on the left, Dad’s on the right.

Our plan is simple and flexible, we hope to reach Valens Conservation Area on Thursday, do some errands and meet up with daughter/sister Courtney for dinner on Friday. Saturday we plan on visiting with daughter/sister Bradey, hubby David and the boys for a few hours and then pulling out Sunday and hopefully getting south of the border before noon. Loose plans, we shall see how things go. I will keep you informed.

Some are holding on in protected places but are slowly fading.

Pitch on the tree, colour and winter wood.

He was in no way afraid of me. 

I will leave you with some photos, I hope you enjoy them.

Until next time…..

Take care, stay safe,
