The Indians were in the Wild Card playoff last year. This year they have a new motto…

MADE IT BACK TO CANTON, OHIO SAFE AND SOUND

Saturday, March 14 - We arrived in Canton, Ohio, on Friday, before noon. We had an uneventful drive across the state from our last stop in Cincinnati. Interesting that we drove diagonally across Ohio in less than 4 hours. It takes four long driving days to cross Texas....YIKES!

We spent some time getting the 5th wheel backed into it's spot. It's not exactly how Paul wants it, but it will do for awhile. He has work he wants to accomplish on the RV this summer so he'll be moving it in the near future anyway.

We spent the afternoon unloading some necessities, like clothes, from the trailer. Our daughter, Kelly, came over after work to help.

Paul also winterized the 5th wheel, just to be safe. If we were living in it, he didn't feel it would have been necessary. Since we are not heating it and it isn't that big of a job, he blew-out the water lines and pumped some anti-freeze in to keep the lines from freezing.

Turned out to be good that Paul spent the time winterizing the RV. It was covered with SNOW Saturday night. We got about two inches of the white stuff. Nice way to welcome us to Ohio.....LOL

We'll survive! We realized we were arriving a little early. We just wanted to get here and parked before any bad weather hit. It's suppose to warm up into the 60's by the first of the week. April can be an “iffy” month in Ohio. Nice days followed by cold or rain. Hopefully this is the last snow we'll have to endure!

Now that we are here, Marsha will spend hours with Kelly working on the wedding. Paul will get started remodeling the kitchen. Wonder which one will be more fun?

Bella has found one of the hottest spots in the house.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL

Thursday, March 27 - Today is Paul's birthday! We won't go into his exact age. He did say, “Once he reached 60, he subtracts a year instead of adding one.” How long until the gray hair starts to disappear?

Happy Birthday!!!
Paul

We continued our travels northward today reaching Cincinnati, Ohio, before lunchtime.

welcome to ohio

We are here to meet good friends and fellow RVers, Cathy and Don. We met them years ago at the Tiffin Repair Facility in Red Bay, Alabama and have remained good friends. We were able to reconnect two years ago in Fredericksburg, TX. They have a home in Cincinnati and travel whenever the urge strikes them.

We are staying at Cedarbrook Campground just outside of Cincinnati in Lebanon, Ohio. This is a nice park. The FHU sites are gravel, and the streets are gravel. There is a paved pad, picnic table, and fire ring at each site. The sites are well spaced. It has the feeling of a “summer” campground that the locals use to “get away” for awhile.

The good news is it isn't SNOWING. The weather is a little cool but remember, this is Ohio....JEESH!!! Today high temperature is suppose to be 60 degrees, but we doubt it will get that high. Current temperature at 2 p.m. is 45 degrees, which is the forecast for tonight's low. Don't know how to figure that one???

After getting the RV set up, we took showers and waited for Cathy and Don. They invited us to their home for dinner and drinks. Can't beat that! They have a very beautiful home. Their house is in an area around a beautiful lake.

Thanks for a wonder time Cathy and Don! Dinner and drinks were awesome.

After an enjoyable evening, we were chauffeured back to our campsite to relax and rest up for the last leg of our trip. Tomorrow we'll cover the last 200 miles diagonally across Ohio, to Canton. We have a very busy spring and summer. We will let you know how everything is going. Enjoy your spring.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
