October 15/2015 Weather in Ontario - frost warnings coming in the next two days, 50's during the day. With the cold front coming we decided to leave and head south. We crossed at Ambassador Bridge into Detroit and had 20 questions with the Customs Officer. You could tell by the lineup it was going to be interesting.
C.O. "Where are you going?"
Bill "Florida"
C.O. "When are you coming back?"
Bill "December 17"
C.O. "What do you have with you?"
Bill "Just our everyday belongings"
C.O. "Heroine? Ecstasy? Crystal Meth?"
Bill "No, nothing like that"
C.O. "How do I know that isn't your everyday stuff?
Bill "We have our clothes, some food"
C.O. "What kind of food? Do you have tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, limes, lemons?"
Rosey "No I removed anything with seeds and our eggs. All our meat is frozen"
C.O. "I'm coming on to look inside. I need to look in the fridge. Can you open your door?"
Bill "I don't know, I can check if it will hit the booth"
C.O. "That should be a yes or a no".
By now we are looking at each other shrugging our shoulders!!!! What the heck.
On he came and walked the coach, knocked on the bathroom door then opened it. Is that weird???? knocking on the bathroom,,,,, Do Not Laugh! We felt like it.
He looked in the sink, then opened the fridge went through the keepers. And found the Offensive Spanish Onion. "What do you call this? Looks like an Onion!"
Rosey "Oh shit! Yes that is an onion. You can have it".
C.O. Put the onion back in the fridge and walked up front, didn't say a thing. As he was leaving the motorhome, he said "What's in the trailer? I want to see in the trailer."
Bill "ok, can I get the key and unlock it?"
Bill and the C.O. walked back to the trailer. Unlocked it and looked inside at the Harley. Bill came back and got inside. We got our passports back from him and he said "Have a good trip". Bizarro.......
That border crossing was the 2nd craziest we have ever had. Billy is going to have to do something about that face of his.
Away we went. Phew!!!
We did get to Georgetown, Kentucky and stayed the night at Whispering Hills RV Park. It has been a few years since we stopped here and they have expanded, they added a nice big row of pull thrus. We did get one of the last sites, it was quite busy. We asked to stay another night but they were full the weekend. She said October is their busiest month. Big college football game in town - Auburn vs Kentucky. So we will move on south tomorrow morning.
