Hello
Fellow Wayward Travelers!!!
Well,
my plan for today was to do a lot of driving!!! I wanted to get to Dayton, Ohio
by the end of the day. That meant driving about 300 to 350 miles on the freeway
with few stops for site seeing!!! And that is what I did!!!
I
left St. Charles, Missouri and drove east through the rest of Missouri (not
very much left to drive through, actually). Then I entered the state of
Illinois! Didn’t do much here except stop for gas!! Then I left Illinois and
entered Indiana!! Bought some more gas!!! I then drove around Indianapolis,
stopped for gas and a walk at a rest stop, then hit the road again!! Then I
left Indiana and entered Ohio and drove to Brookville, Ohio which is just east
of Dayton, Ohio. Here I stopped at a KOA Kampground to spend two nights. Why
two nights you may ask!!! Well, so that I can spend all day in one of the
oldest air museums in the USA – The Wright-Paterson AFB Museum. Besides, I
understand that the Wright Brothers are from around here somewhere and there
may be a museum on just them – I can only hope!!!
Now
I didn’t stop and see the sites, but I did take photos from the moving truck!!!
From Missouri to Ohio, I can tell one thing about the land --- it’s FLAT!!! They
do try to make it look like it has hills by planting a lot of trees, but it’s
FLAT!!! Here are my photos to prove it ---
Now
there is one thing other that I noticed --- they are working on all the roads
that I drive on!!! Here is the sign that I saw most often and here is the usual
view in front of the truck ---
I
know you have all heard me complain about crossing state lines and never seeing
anything special!!! Well, I now stand corrected!!! OHIO is now my favorite
state for border crossings!!! With Ohio, you know you are entering a new
state!! Look at this ---
Guess
what??? I crossed into another time zone and nobody told me!!! I happened to look
at my cell phone and it was an hour later than my trailer and truck clocks. So I
looked up the time zones on the internet and yep, I am now in the Eastern Time Zone!!!
So, it may be 6:00 PM at my house in Marysville, WA, but its 9:00 PM here in Ohio!!!
Opps, I lost another hour!!!
Well,
that’s about all I have to say about today, and I have no more photos, so, with
that, I will go for now, but I will see you all again tomorrow with a lot
of airplane photos (I hope!!!).
Again, to quote that
great comedian, Red Skelton, "Good Night and May God Bless!"
