“The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.” – James Branch Cabell, The Silver Stallion, 1926

1st Day On the Road
Today is our first day on the road to the cabin. We did a bit North of 700 miles today—ending up in Elkhart, Indiana. We love to stay at the Ramada on the South side of I80 at exit 92. They take the dogs, there is a phenomenal dog-walking area, and there is a Bennigan’s on site. So, it is easy for us to get off the Interstate, check in, unload the cats and get them fed and watered and kitty-boxed (after all, they spent about 12 hours in their crates), walk the dogs, settle into the room, order dinner from Bennigan’s, relax, walk the dogs again (please poop! pleeeaaase poop!), and get a good night’s sleep.
The weather was beautiful with no wind and no rain. Filled up with gas once in Clarion, PA. About 15 mpg is not bad for the Suburban with the Yakima pod and a huge cooler on top. We’ll need gas here before we leave in the morning.
Someone tried to call my cell three times today, but no message. If you want to contact us, please leave a message because our cell phone coverage is spotty! (Although this is being sent via a cell phone connection….)
More tomorrow….
