Today was a driving day, so not much happened. Larry had to crank in the slide to leave this morning, and then crank it out again when we stopped. Hopefully, there will be just one more day of that before we get it fixed in Indiana. We left New York, drove thru the top edge of Pennsylvania that juts up to Lake Erie, and we’re now about half way thru Ohio.
We came through a lot of vineyard areas all the way here. Once when we stopped at a rest area in Pennsylvania, there were vineyards in every direction and when we got out of the truck, the smell of grapes made my mouth water. It smelled just like Welch’s grape juice! We were talking about the Icewine that we had found in Canada yesterday, and realized today that the zero degrees they referred to when they pick the frozen grapes, is not our zero degrees. We were in Canada and they use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, so their zero degrees would be our 32 degrees. They said they pick them at about 8-12 degrees below zero, so I guess that would be somewhere around our 15-20 degrees (above zero). (Inquiring minds want to know.)
We stopped at this campground just because it was close to the interstate and a good distance between destinations. We’re just south of Sandusky, about half way between Cleveland and Toledo. There are quite a few hotels along the main road, so we started checking on the map about what is around here. NASA’s Plum Brook Station is nearby northeast of here. It is a testing facility. That was about all we could see per the map. We’re now settled in for the evening, having walked about a quarter mile down the road to buy a salad at McDonald’s to go with spaghetti we had left over from another evening.
