Day One – September 9, 2018

Day One

Here we are on Day One – packed the car yesterday and watched the Weather Channel again to choose the route for our Western Trip.  After Tropical Storm Gordon came through Mississippi and Alabama he decided to head for the Midwest and has been hanging around the Ohio Valley for days.  We have mapped out several different routes weather dependent – looks like we take the high roads (Interstate 90, 80, 70) as we make our way to Las Vegas to see daughter, son-in-law and grand puppies.  After that we will continue to California.  No real plan here except to take our time and see as much as we can!

Today is a cool, gray day in Rochester – only 57 degrees. The forecast was for rain in Erie and Cleveland but dry after that.  We made some sandwiches, packed the cooler and we are off.

 

Non- descript sort of trip through western NY, maybe because we travelled this path many times. 

 

We hit rain in Erie and then travel in rain until we have had enough – so we are in Maumee, Ohio for the night!

 

 

Kind of weird we would end up here – we have travelled this far on this route once before – our good friends daughter had her wedding reception in this area – we are staying about a block from where we stayed before.  Who knew?  It is still raining and quite cool at 52 degrees.  Applebee’s dinner was good –  salads, Chicken w/lime glaze and cheese sauce and Spanish Rice.

 

 

It is still raining!
