Last stop

April 17/2018  Weather warm and grey today, storm is coming behind us.   We are in our last stop before crossing into Canada and home.  This Wapakoneta KOA is a nice clean park and a good way to finish up the season.  My brother tells us we must go to the TBone Buffet down at the truck stop here, Travel America.   It is the first service center on the I75.  First as in history,
the location was the first truckstop on the interstate.  It was built in 1956 shortly after President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. For the next 15 years, it was one of the busiest truckstops in the country.  Today it still quite busy serving roughly 1,000 fuel customers a day.  One touristy attraction we have never been to in Wapakoneta is the Neil Armstrong Space Museum.  Put that on the bucket list.

Interstate ride home & first blog entry from the I Phone

Warm days and nights 70's plus and sunny for driving
This is a short and sweet entry till I get the hang of posting from this super device:)

We are sad to leave Alabama but responsibilities call us to head home.
Our first night was a stop in Sweetwater, Tennessee at the Koa.  One thing about KOA kamping it is consistent.  You can always get a big pull thru and it's usually easy in and out.  This was just past Chattanooga and we definitely need to put this area on our list to stop and ride with the motorcycle. Ah the list keeps growing even though we have seen so much in the last two years!
Next morning we were off about nine in the morning and even though we could make it home to Ontario today we just don't drive any farther than when it becomes mid afternoon.  So another good night at a KOA in Wapakoneta , Ohio.   Now I know you are thinking in 150 miles we could be home so why not keep going?  Lesson learned.... Getting into a site after dark can be tricky and we try not to look for trouble it seems to find us easy enough!  Tomorrow will be an easy day - short drive to the Ambassador Bridge then stop at the farm to hug Mom & Dad ( yeah they made it through another winter) then find our new site for the spring in Erieau.  

Wonderful owners there offered to turn on the water and power for us.  Southside Marina and Rv Park.  Its right by the public beach and years ago it was the spot where the coal yards were with the big ships... there is a bit of history here and its close to the farm for us and still on the water.  Come out for a ride to see us soon:). Hope everyone had a good winter.
